POP CULTURE WITH HARPER

Features editor Harper Harris is a pop culture fanatic, and she’s here to address what’s trending.

After a two-year hiatus from music, Selena Gomez announced her documentary “My Mind & Me,” which covers an array of topics like growing up in the spotlight, her lupus diagnosis and her mental health.

The Grand Prairie native has expanded her expertise beyond music and acting by producing multiple TV shows and launching her own makeup line.

The documentary spans a fiveyear time period and goes into incredible depth on topics Gomez has lightly touched on her social media.

The documentary is split up into three parts, with part one starting in 2018 with Gomez in her hometown and high school, explaining what life was like as a child star on the Disney Channel.

Part two is set in 2019 after she received her bipolar disorder diagnosis, and she travels to Kenya with the We Foundation, an organization that empowers young Kenyan women.

5The last part is set in 2020 with the release of her new album “Rare” and the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As someone with lupus, Gomez is immunocompromised, and this documentary shows the detrimental effects of her isolation. At the end of the documentary, Gomez returns to her hometown, wanting to connect more with her roots.
