Victoria "Toya" Montou (died 1805) was a female soldier and freedom fighter in the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines during the Haitian Revolution. Toya Montou was not the only woman to serve in the Haitian army during the revolution, other exceptions are Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére, who served at the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot in 1802, and Sanité Belair.
▨
▨
Before the revolution, Montou had worked alongside Dessalines as a slave. She was described as intelligent and energetic, and shared a close relationship with Dessalines and the same hatred toward slavery. Although she is not related by blood, Dessalines always introduced her as his aunt and affectionately called her Mantou. Due to Dessalines' mother dying in childbirth and his father being sold to another plantation, she raised him and his two older brothers, Louis and Joseph Duclos, who would later adopt the last name Dessalines after Haiti's Independence.
▨
▨
During the Haitian Revolution, she fought as a soldier in active service; on at least one documented occasion, she commanded soldiers in action during battle. In 1804, Dessalines became emperor. When Montou was dying, the emperor demanded the doctor to treat her as he would him, and stated that Toya was his aunt who had shared his feelings since before the revolution. She was given a state funeral with a procession of eight sergeants and Empress Marie-Claire Heureuse.

Bayyinah Bello Profile:
Bello is the mother of four, grandmother of 10 and great grandmother of 4. She first earned an Administrative degree at New York State University. Then went on to gain a B.S. in Education and an M.S. in Linguistics. Bello taught Arabic at Muhammad University of Islam. She discovered the joy of writing and published several language manuals and children storybooks.

Bello has lived in Liberia, Nigeria and Togo. She’s visited all the West African countries and several others on the continent. Back in the United States Bello worked as a publicist for the Museum of Natural History.

After gaining a Masters Degree in Primary Education and more teaching experience, Bello returned to Haiti. There, she taught the Hausa language and culture at the State University of Haiti. She also founded the ‘Citadelle International School,’ a bilingual school for Primary & Secondary aged children, aiming to aid young Haitians returning home to adapt.

Professor Bello teaches anthropology at the State University of Haiti. She is among the few professional educators to have dedicated her life’s work to the struggle for human rights and dignity for our peoples across the planet. A humanitarian and advocate, Professor Bello continues to contribute time and resources to assist in the development of programs based on a procedure she conceived. It states that the greatest knowledge is the knowledge of Self. Once one has developed the knowledge of Self one has no basis to envy another, to desire that which is not naturally yours, to promote or practice corruption; …one is empowered to generate reciprocity which is the foundation from which springs abundance and prosperity. Professor Bello is fluent in Haitian Kreyòl, French, English, Arabic and Hausa. She is currently working as Professor at the State University of Haiti.

Professor Bello was featured as a leading Haiti scholar and historian in the documentary 1804: The Hidden History of Haiti.
