Introducing the amazing, talented @violadavis

Viola is one of most acclaimed black actresses in history, Viola has been nominated for 4 Oscar Awards and won 1. She is also a 2 time Tony Award winner, Academy Award winner, Primetime Emmy Award making her the first black actress to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting.

Viola’s rise to fame wasn’t an easy one, growing up poor and witnessing violence within her home, the odds were truly against her.

Growing up Viola was racially abused on a daily basis in school and went through sexual assault, sexism and colourism. She had many barriers both in her personal and professional life.

But yet Viola was determined to live a different life, then the one she grew up in.

When Viola studied acting she took to acting like a duck takes to water! She has since used her career to bring light to issues around the world and played amazing roles.

Viola does a lot of work with the charities close to her heart. I think you will agree that she truly is an icon and an idol! And I can’t wait to finish her book!

@marcusrashford is known by millions because of his football career, however he is more then just footballer. During the peak of the Covid Pandemic, Rashford campaigned to get the government to do more for low income families during covid as he knew that many families would struggle to feed their children. Something has was happening way before Covid and he had had first hand experience of this. The government provided families in need with food vouchers during the summer holidays. Rashford continued to campaign for the government to do more and support these same families more and extend during all school holidays. The government rejected this. Rashford continued to fight and has since has helped raise over 20million for charities and got amazing support by the public and food brands, but he is not finished yet. Rashford has made it clear that he wants to help #endchildfoodpoverty and will continue to use his platform to do this in any way he can. He has helped petition for the healthy start vouchers amount to be increased. Rashford has since received an MBE for his work. #blackhistorymonth #makinghistory #rashford #marcusrashfood #endchildfoodpoverty #charity #blackpeoplemakinghistorymonth #football #manchesterunited #england #uk #freeschoolmeals #childpoverty #london #blackandproud #blackhistorymonthuk #beingblack #manutd #procreate #portrait #illustration #artbyme https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-vGQ1I8cg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
