Gigi's Revolution


In class today we went over and preformed our Egypt raps. I thought that they were all very good. After that we watched a video about a girl named Gigi trying to get freedom for her. Because her family is a part of the Egyptian elite, her parents and family were all against it. She studied at the American University of Kiro and spent some years in California. She feels that no one of her family understands how she feels and what she is fighting for. Her sister feels as if their ruler is a “father figure.” After this, they were filming on the street and a man became confused and thought that they were bothering her.  Gigi’s explanation is because she believes that their ruler has had such a negative impact on them that people are always assuming the worse things.
