00:00When I see you on that stage, I still see the six-year-old girl singing in our backyard.
00:07Selena obviously bridged the gap between mainstream music and Latin music as well as
00:11just culture in general in just such a revolutionary way. The show we get to, you know, we get to see
00:18the newer generation is going to see something that they haven't seen before, you know, like Gen
00:21Z. They didn't have the movie or whatever. How do you hope the series bridges that gap between the
00:27two worlds and shows Lion X representation today? I think what's great about our show is that it's
00:33a show. So it's much longer and we're going to have all this time with Selena. You know,
00:38we're going to see her in her formative years. We're going to see her become
00:41the icon that we know today. And I think that's important. Selena was often told where she needed
00:50to fit into and she wanted to do everything. She wanted to sing in Spanish and English. She wanted
00:56to sing Tejano. She wanted, and she had such, she had influences from all over the world, even in
01:02those two worlds and genres. And, you know, she had her foot in fashion and beauty and was writing
01:09her music too. And, and she was, she had no choreographer, no creative direction. She was doing
01:15everything. And I think that's so powerful. And I think, you know, it's incredibly relatable to
01:22work hard and find places for yourself where often, you know, people of color aren't given some spaces.
01:30The family was very much involved. You know, Suzette was an executive producer of the series.
01:43So while working with the family, was there anything that was just surprising to learn about Selena or the
01:49family while you guys are working on the project? A.B. was a musical genius. You know, he, you know,
01:54he was the bass player. I never played bass before. So learning to play the bass was fun. You know,
01:59and he would also be dancing on stage with Selena sometimes on some of the performances. And so that
02:04was fun also, you know, and it's not easy to play and dance at the same time. So, and then on top of
02:08that, you know, he's, he's writing these freaking hit songs, you know, one after another. So, you know,
02:14it's just really cool to, to, to understand and learn all these things about A.B.
02:18I think for me, what, what was great to experience and to see is just more of the childhood story.
02:25And just to see how, you know, a lot of people, when they think of Selena, they think, oh, this big star
02:32with this great music and these big concerts and everything. And they don't realize that they,
02:38these kids started working on this since they were little, since they were very young.
02:43And it wasn't just big, huge stages, you know, they, they had to, they had to kind of go through
02:51things and, and experience things before they got to where they were.
02:55And don't think I don't remember you, Sadie. We know you were all in the original feature,
03:001997 Selena film with J-Lo, you know, the iconic Grammys dress, you guys were just searching.
03:06What is it like to be involved from that, you know, that past projects and now, and just been
03:11a span of just so many years.
03:13Yeah. It's surreal. It's like a full circle. You know, I, I was much younger then. So the
03:19experience was coming from like a young 20 year old who was excited to explore this and, and,
03:25you know, and, and know about them in, you know, it's a complete different character.
03:32And I'm a mom now, so I can relate, you know, I can relate to that.
03:43Last but not least, Selena makes us emotional. I mean, I feel like fans, it's like you see a clip
03:49or we hear music and we have to almost hold ourselves from tears. You know, there's that
03:53very intense sentiment. Like I said before, what about her spirit music legacy? Do you think transcends
03:59time and just makes us feel so connected to her? It's that she was taken away from us too soon.
04:05You know, one of the, one of the biggest things for me, she and I were born in the same year,
04:09four months apart, you know, and, and the longer that I worked on this project,
04:15the more I started thinking, you know, my God, you know, since that time,
04:20these are the things that I've accomplished. What could she have possibly accomplished?
04:25You know, and, and so, so the lesson that I take from that is that, you know, life is short.
04:31And time, time is precious, you know, and, and you have to make the most of what you're given.
04:36And I think it's because we all feel so connected to her that she nearly feels like our family,
04:41right? She feels like our friend that we grew up with, and we want to protect her.
04:45And she's one of the few, like, Hispanic legends that we have, Mexican legends.
04:50And she's so giving, who doesn't want to be around someone that just has that megawatt smile,
04:55and that can perform and be just so giving. It's going to be a legend that lives on forever.
05:02If that means something for me, nothing.
05:05For you like them, for obviously no longer.
05:06If it doesn't want to be around someone like me,
05:07why doesn't it don't drink a Rockefeller and nothing else like Danish Re-Sourанс?
05:08And that's what the means for us to see yeah and demographic perspectives.
05:10But when we keep living together by adding members of our family,
05:12and dedicate to our familys, that has the unemployment rate you're the only one,
05:13and a band красоты, and a couple of pieces to finish up with the midact of princes.
05:15So thanks.

05:20there's going to be going to be cheaper soon.
05:22Let's keep learning for hookuparts.
