The media doesn't always paint a pretty picture of black families.
But we know full well that the world is brimming with loving households of all shades, shapes and sizes, and we want the world to see them. So Black Voices sent a callout to readers asking for them to tweet photos using the hashtag #MyBlackFamily. What we received was nothing less than a treasure trove of beautiful family portraits. Take a look below and if you want to join in, it's not too late. Just tweet your own family photo using #MyBlackFamily and we'll continue to update this story with new submissions.
