From Homeless Refugee Son to Super Bowl Star | The Weeknd Popstar Journey

How did the son of Ethiopian refugees go from being homeless in Toronto to be a popstar achiving the american dream?

In this episode of Immigrant Visionaries, we explore the incredible journey of Abel Tesfaye a.k.a The Weeknd.

While the world knows his hits like "Blinding Lights" and "Starboy," few know that his success was built on a critical safety net: his parents' legal refugee status.

Attorney Chris M. Ingram breaks down why this legal status was the "silent partner" in The Weeknd's rise. Unlike undocumented immigrants who live in fear that one mistake could lead to deportation, Abel had the freedom to take massive risks—dropping out of school, living on the streets, and pursuing a music career that seemed impossible.
