After much anticipation, Selena Gomez’s documentary My Mind and Me premiered on AppleTV+ on Nov. 4. The documentary chronicles six years of Selena Gomez’s life and presents the pop icon in an authentic and unvarnished light, giving the audience a fresh and empathetic perspective. Rather than appearing as a conventional documentary, My Mind and Me is a deep-dive interaction with the artist.
Because of the documentary, my admiration for Gomez has only grown. It was heartening to see a prominent public figure in the era of social media bring attention to issues of mental health and methods of dealing with anxiety. The documentary is the virtual equivalent of Gomez hugging her fans, and it has sparked meaningful dialogue across all forms of media.
Hi there!
