On Episode 2 of the Multiracial Family Man Podcast (#MultiracialFamilyMan on Twitter), I speak with Michael David Murphy, creator of WeArethe15Percent (http://wearethe15percent.com/), a crowd-sourced collection of portraits of American interracial families and marriages, inspired by a Cheerios ad.

Michael is a photographer, and he created WeArethe15Percent in the wake of and in reaction to the public reactions to a Cheerios ad featuring a multiracial ad.

Michael and his wife are an interracial couple, and when they watched the Cheerios ad they were excited to see a representation of their own family. So, they created the site to publicly reflect the changing face of the American family and the growing number of interracial marriages.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, as you will see when you visit WeArethe15Percent.com.
