Help Hayti is dedicated to the memory of my father, Montaigu Cantave. Agronomist by profession, Bwa—as he was affectionately called by close friends--was altogether a brilliant thinker whose intelligence dazzled his interlocutors, a dialectician who relished a debate and frustrated his opponents, an austere father who did not settle for mediocrity, a mentor who rewarded promising young talents, and a bon vivant who professed love for life.

Alicia Fall
-
Founder of Her Many Voices
-
Alicia Fall is a person whose life could be summarized in one word - balance. A short visit to the two locations she calls home, New York City and Boulder, CO will show just that.
A singer, songwriter and musician, born and raised in New York, Alicia draws from her rich cultural background (Eastern Band Cherokee, Danish, Cuban and Spanish) to paint a picture of the “American” experience. Her style is both unique and embraceable. Her truth speaks to the spirit within us all.
Alicia’s lyrics span the gamut of love, politics and religion, and the complexity of humans and their Gods. Her spirit is felt through it all...an activist and humanitarian at heart.
With a background in early childhood education, and the healing arts, it was this heart that created Her Many Voices, an organization of Artist Response to Humanitarian Need. The focus - global visibility for woman, children and Mother Earth, giving a voice of empowerment ultimately for all.
Ms Fall found herself, as many artist do, wanting to create positive change in this world and recognizing the power and responsibility artist have to do just that.
Those in the arts have a unique gift...they can heal the world through creative expression. Alicia Fall has a unique gift as well...she knows how to connect people and draws on the talents of a variety of artists who have a collective vision...a world of equal opportunity; a world of equals rights, resources and respect. She is the Founder and the Vision Holder to Her Many Voices.
