The issue of diversity in the advertising has been mostly an internal (industry only) conversation.  The fact that minorities are grossly underrepresented in the multibillion dollar industry that, as consumers, they contribute to greatly, has been an ongoing conversation since the '60s.  There are several factors that add to the fact that 15% of the ad industry are people of color, while our country's minority population is 37%.  One of those factors is the lack of exposure to this issue as well as the limited exposure to the jobs that are available in this industry (and there are jobs available, PLENTY).   Our goal is to spread awareness about this issue, as well as solutions that are available.  We need your support to Thunder Clap this issue.  If you can give one thing this holiday season, please lend your support to this effort.  We need 250 people to make their voices heard about this effort.  Recently CNN covered our story, while we were participating in The One Club Creative Boot Camp in Atlanta at Morehouse College.   Our hope is that by sharing this story, more people will be inspired to take action by doing one of the following:

"I know I can’t be the only one who is exasperated by the scrutiny the athletes have been under.  The most irrelevant things have been highlighted this year at the Olympics. Topics like: Gabby Douglas’ hair,  Lori (Lolo) Jones and her virginity, Serena’s victory dance, Ryan Lochte’s love life and grill. Last night on Entertainment Tonight they even posted a break down of Natalie Hawkins’ (Gabby’s Mom) DEBT from her student loans to her T-mobile phone bill. They also spoke about Ryan Lochte’s mom facing foreclosure! Even when McKayla Maroney didn’t hug her Russian competitor Sandra Raluca Izbasa she was blasted for being “fake” and had to take to her twitter page to defend her sportsmanship"
