This year, British Vogue's September issue is a beautiful homage to 40 activists currently shaping the future and giving us hope. 

Vogue's September issue is traditionally its most important of the year. Last year, the Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex guest edited the issue. Editor-in-chief Edward Enninful said this year's activism-themed issue is "our show of thanks, as well as a rallying cry for the future."

The Activism Now issue features cover stars Marcus Rashford, a footballer who recently led a successful child poverty campaign, and Adwoa Aboah, a mental health campaigner. The pair were photographed by Misan Harriman, the first Black male photographer to shoot a cover of British Vogue in its 104-year history.

In Jan. 2019, Nadine Ijewere became the first Black female photographer to shoot a cover of British Vogue.  Read more...
