This Is the Inspirational Experience Selena Gomez Says She "Will Never Forget"

In case you hadn't noticed yet, Selena Gomez has a newfound focus: the "It Ain't Me" singer is spreading a message of self-acceptance and self-love. After giving a touching acceptance speech at the 2016 American Music Awards, where she said, "If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken," Selena is using her new job as ambassador for Coach to spread her message.

On March 23, Selena surprised a Los Angeles school with the fashion brand's partner Step Up. There, she empowered girls to "love themselves," according to a report by Billboard, adding that she's taking some time off from making music to do things that she's passionate about.

"Step Up's mission to empower young women is personally important to me and something even more crucial in under-served communities. Working with the young women I met today was an inspirational experience I will never forget," Selena said in a statement. Scroll ahead to see more photos from her day of giving.
