30 November Selena on the cover of December issue of Vogue Mexico

Selena Gomez talks about mental health, altruism and what she is passionate about in the new interview for December issue of Vogue Mexico.

We see Selena Gomez moving very naturally in her spacious and enviable kitchen. Her face wears only a little makeup –although, on occasions, she complements it with a rouge lipstick that manages to highlight her features.

Check out some excerpts from Selena’s interview:

“Make sure you pick up the phone and call your family. We have to make sure we are aware not only of our family, but also of our friends. People feel lonely and isolated, and a simple call and ask how they are doing is very helpful.” – Selena

“Im very close with my family, my grandparents live with me & I wouldnt have it any other way. In my family we fight a lot & love even more. I love when people say that your friends are the family you choose but your family is the family u are stuck with” – Selena

“I felt that it was a responsibility to use my platform in a meaningful way” – Selena

“It was when I was younger, I was finding my own voice and I was trying to clarify who I was and what my beliefs were. When I found it out, I felt that it was a responsibility to use my platform in a meaningful way” – Selena

ЭAs a Mexican-American woman I feel a responsibility to use my platform to be a voice for people who are too afraid to speak” – Selena

Selena Gomez has known how to take advantage of her platform and influence to talk about issues that have shocked her.

“I have been open about my personal mental health struggles and have been affected by feeling less. Through my openness, I have listened to many young people who also struggle and this is something very close to my heart” – Selena

“I hope we can empower the Rare Beauty community to challenge beauty standarts by shaping positive conversations about self-acceptance and mental health” – Selena

“Rare Beauty’s vision is to create a safe and welcoming space that supports mental well-being” – Selena

“That is why Rare Beauty’s vision is to create a safe and welcoming space that supports mental well-being based on age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, physical or mental ability, and perspective” – Selena

“So we decided that we need to launch no less than 48 shades of foundation and concealer. I wanted to make sure that everyone who is part of the Rare Beauty community feels represented” – Selena

“We want to reduce the stigma associated with mental health, address the epidemic of chronic loneliness, and give people access to the resources they need to support their mental well-being” – Selena

“Our goal is to raise $ 100 million over the next 10 years to help connect people with mental health services.especially underserved communities” – Selena

This Texas-born young woman – who is the third generation of a Mexican-American family – seems to have figured out her purpose.

“That is the question, we are all shaped by circumstances. And I’m not sure what the future will look like for me, since the evolution of our lives is not predictable” – Selena

“What I do hope is to continue feeling curious about life, to challenge myself and learn from my mistakes (there will be many)” – Selena
