¡Viva la Reina!
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us how Selena Quintanilla has inspired them. These were the heartwarming responses.

"Selena showed me how beautiful it is to be a Mexican-American and to be proud of it."
"Not only did she capture the hearts of the Latino community, but of every race. She was so beautiful and performed through her heart. She is forever an inspiration!"

"She was magical and taught me you didn’t have to be stick-thin to be beautiful."
"She wasn't afraid to be herself. She was/is a role model to women everywhere."

"Before her, there were no young Mexican-American icons to look up to. She was beautiful, talented, humble, and kind."
"We saw ourselves in her in a way and when that was taken away so suddenly, we lost a part of ourselves as well. She was the true epitome of a strong Mexican-American woman and I think that really helped shape so many of us growing up. We knew that we were worthwhile as well and could do more than what society saw us as."
