Headline: Selena Gomez calls for more representation of young people in Hollywood
Caption:
The actress-singer was presented with the Equity in Entertainment Award at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala. Taking to the stage to accept the accolade, which recognises individuals "who amplify the voices of underrepresented communities in the entertainment industry", Selena recalled how she was once approached by a woman while she was filming a "kid show" when she was 15. "She was with her daughter and she said, 'I'm so excited and happy. Thank you for being someone that looks like my daughter on TV because she can finally look up to someone like her.'"
