Season 1, Episode 1: Anything for Salinas!
Have you all watched the new Selena series on Netflix? I sit down with Dr. Claudia Mejia, a licensed psychologist in Las Vegas, NV to dissect the first episode of the series from a psychological perspective. We also discuss the impact Selena had on many first generation Latinx, the influence of growing up biculturally, cultural factors such as familismo, low socioeconomic status (or Low SES), and issues related to bilingualism.
