Manchester United and England star Marcus Rashford has made the front
cover of a special Black Lives Matter-themed edition of British Vogue.
The
footballer, 22, shared a photo of the cover on Twitter and said he was
'humbled' to be recognised for his campaign to help vulnerable children
that led to a government u-turn on free school meals.
Rashford appears on the cover alongside mental health campaigner and model Adwoa Aboah.

Edward Enninful said the issue is a 'rallying cry for the future' and
includes 40 activists described as 'The Faces of Hope'.
Rashford
partnered with FareShare, a poverty and food waste charity, in March
and raised more than £20million to ensure children are provided with
school meals during lockdown.
However, with
the government set to stop providing free school meals to around three
million children over the summer, the Manchester United star wrote to
MPs on June 15 imploring them to 'protect the vulnerable'.
His poignant letter was widely shared and prompted a rapid government u-turn.
He
also shared his own experience of growing up poor and, in his interview
with Vogue, said: 'I would have failed everyone that had helped me get
to where I am today if I didn't put myself out there and say: ''This is
not ok – and it needs to change.'' In fact, I would have failed my 10
year old self.'

The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST.
Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else.
When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else.
