Ex-Disney Channel star Selena Gomez is now working behind the scenes as a producer for a new show about a young Latina girl growing up in a Los Angeles.
The series, which is actually based on the life of Ana Cobarrubias, an 18-year-old Los Angeles native, is getting hyped as a “Latina Empire,” Deadlinereports. Television producer Aaron Kaplan (who’s also currently working on a Freeform show with Nicki Minaj) saw the high school senior speak on her generation and community at the Zimmer Children’s Museum Discovery Awards dinner last year, and was so blown away that he pitched the series to Freeform.
Here’s some of the wisdom she dropped during her speech:
