The myth: Black people don't camp
A few years ago, during the summer, I decided to go on a camping trip and wondered if I could convince any of friends go (yes, my friends are black). I went to visit Shunteโ in her home and was happy to see Jocelyn there. After greeting each other and joking around, I finally popped the question.

And you're much more lucky than I am if you're going for the Melanated Campout event in June because there are so many fun things to do.

WRONG THINKING! There are many black people in the US who love these outdoor adventures even though percentage-wise, we are still the minority.
