Alicia Keys
As soon a Alicia Keys hit it big with “Songs in A Minor” she put her fame to good use. In 2003, she co-founded Keep a Child Alive, a non-profit organization that provides medicine to families with HIV and AIDS in Africa. She’s also used her voice musically and politically to call attention to issues surrounding poverty in Africa, Hurricane Katrina, gender oppression, and the earthquake in Haiti.
