A beautiful family

My daughter brought home from school yesterday a little package from Colgate that contained a toothpaste sample and a coupon. Imagine my delight when I saw on the page with a toothpaste coupon a photograph of a Caucasian mother with her beautiful biracial black-white child! I heartily applaud this company for using this photograph of a family that looks like mine.

There are so many beautiful multiethnic families in this world but we are often overlooked in advertising and other materials. It is so refreshing — albeit surprising — to see a photo of a family that looks like mine in magazines, advertising materials or anything, for that matter.

I have contacted this company through their website to praise them for the use of this photograph, which I have posted below. Here is a photo of my family as well.
