A los 43 años de edad, todavía se abrían nuevas oportunidades para Jenni. Además de ser un talento artístico multidimensional, Jenni era una madre devote, filántropa, y una empresaria feroz. Sus fanáticos la impulsaron a convertirse en una de las grandes superestrellas de la música latina. Revelo su alma en la música y el público la accepto. En un mundo de celebridades cuidadosamente elaboradas, Jenni era muy real. Jenni se convirtío en un héroe para las mujeres (y los hombres tambíen) que se indentificaron con sus luchas y ansia por vivir. Como miembra de la talentosa familia Rivera, Jenni empeso desde abajo, vendiendo CDs en mercados, tocando en clubs nocturnos y tocando las puertas de las estaciones. La hija de inmigrantes mexicanos nacida en los Estados Unidos, Jenni rompió los techos de vidrio de los genéros banda y norteño que anteriormente estaban dominados por artistas masculinos. La música regional mexicana ha sido musicalmente rica y estilísticamente diversa, pero a sufridó por mucho tiempo los estereotipos de genéro y el sexismo predominante-hasta que llegó Jenni Rivera.

The GRAMMY Museum paid tribute to the legacy of Jenni Rivera with this exhibit, celebrating the talent, entrepreneurial savvy, and personal passion that made her a musical trailblazer and a cultural icon. Tragically, she and six others were killed in a plane crash in 2012 in Mexico. Her business empire was expanding, she was crossing over into other media, and her mainstream audience was growing by leaps and bounds. At 43 years of age, new opportunities were still opening up for Jenni. In addition to being a multidimensional artistic talent, Jenni was a devoted mother, philanthropist, and a fierce businesswoman. Her fans propelled her into one of Latin music’s great superstars. She bared her soul in her music and audiences embraced her. In a world of carefully crafted celebrity, Jenni was very real.

Jenni became a hero to women (and men too) who identified with her struggles and her lust for life. A member of the musically gifted Rivera family, Jenni worked her way up in the recording industry from the bottom, selling CDs at flea markets, playing nightclubs, and pounding on radio station doors. The American-born daughter of Mexican immigrants, Jenni smashed the glass ceilings of the banda and norteño genres that were previously dominated by male artists. While musically rich and stylistically diverse, regional Mexican music long suffered from gender stereotypes and prevalent sexism - then came Jenni Rivera.
