5 Inspirational Quotes from The Weeknd
Everybody loves a success story, so it’s no surprise that The Weeknd’s lyrics inspire us to break through glass ceilings. I mean after all, the star did go “from homeless to Forbes list”
Growing up poor in Toronto and being homeless at 17 is a story that usually ends differently. For Abel Makkonen Tesfaye AKA The Weeknd, the story isn’t over yet but right now, he’s probably getting ready to perform at the Super Bowl LV halftime show.
He’ll be the first Canadian to headline the Super Bowl solo, an achievement so grand that the mayor of Toronto has proclaimed the 7th of February 2021 as “The Weeknd day” in the City of Toronto.
