Recording artist and actress Cynthia “C" Basinet is among this years Nobel Peace Prize nominees. Known for her hit “Santa Baby", this talented musician is also a humanitarian. She is honored for drawing attention to the plight of 200,000 refugees living in the Western Sahara desert. The refugee camps are 80% women and children, and their plight touches Basinet deeply as a woman, and a single mother. Only 12 women have ever won the Peace prize (80 men and 12 organizations have garnered the prestigious honor). - by Cheryl Philips
