Speaking of the benefit, Selena has said that it was “the culmination of a lifelong dream. But it also stemmed from some of the darkest moments in my life.” Speaking of her mental health struggles, she said at the event, “I struggled with the world inside my head for a long time and I felt lost and I felt hopeless at times. In 2020, I received my diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and to be honest, everything quickly changed. I got the knowledge and the answers I had been desperate for so long, and understanding that makes me more aware of it, and I’m less afraid than I used to be.”
