In addition to that she inspired many young women to go into the music industry, and she achieved success in the Tejano genre because it was VERY male dominated. People assumed she wouldn't achieve success because she's a woman. ]]> 2021-05-05 01:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1492208227 980358 https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1492212257 She inspired a whole generation of Latinos and many future singers to come such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Becky G, etc. She inspired so many young Latinos to pursue music and make their dreams come true. She also inspired so many Latinos to embrace their cultures even if they didn’t know how to speak spanish or struggled to connect with their heritage. ]]> 2021-05-05 01:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1492212257 1004826 https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493510656 2021-05-05 12:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493510656 980358 https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493523910 2021-05-05 12:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493523910 1004826 https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493527406 2021-05-05 12:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493527406 10130232 https://padlet.com/980358/qrn6dujhhwbt9nxj/wish/1493560543 Selena has a lot of modern day impacts, via culture, popularizing Latin Music, and promoting/marketing latin culture.
