Belly: Rapper, Courageous Immigrant

In this video from International Rescue Committee, Palestinian-born Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer Belly describes how he fell in love with poetry and music, and how his past has impacted his art.

Using the video of Belly as an inspiration, the lesson “Courageous Acts” asks students reflect on their own family history, identify examples of courage in the people in their lives, and consider ways they can become more courageous themselves.
