Selena Quintanilla-Perez: 20th Anniversary Of Being Gone But Still Missed

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the death of a legendary Tejano singer, entertainer, and overall legendary artist, Selena Quintanilla-Perez.

As a young girl I followed Selena's artistry; her music, amazing talent, undeniable beauty, and fluid dance moves often kept my eyes glued to the television screen as I'd tune into Univision and Telemundo, to become enamoured in "Selena" world. Then on that tragic day I turned the television on to discover I had lost my idol -- people were crying hysterically as the headline read that Selena was dead. 

The hurt I felt that day, knowing my idol had been killed equaled the same amount of hurt I felt when I learned that Whitney Houston had passed; two extraordinary human beings with immaculate vocals and beaming personalities gone to soon.

During this 20th year that we continue living without Selena in our lives, I hope that all who love her will pay tribute by playing her music, posting her pictures, and sharing beautiful words about this amazing human being who touched the hearts of millions.
