Yo no soy de esos ni\u00f1os que viven en campamentos. Crec\u00ed en la pobreza, en el centro de Filadelfia (Nac\u00ed y me cri\u00e9 en el oeste), en una casa adosada que compart\u00eda con mis padres, mis dos hermanos y mi abuela, que padec\u00eda Alzheimer. Mi padre era negro y mi madre era la \u00fanica mujer blanca en un radio de 30 manzanas. Todo el mundo sab\u00eda qui\u00e9nes \u00e9ramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No s\u00e9 si fue por la cercan\u00eda de las casas adosadas o simplemente por la cultura del barrio, pero era el tipo de lugar donde pr\u00e1cticamente todos los adultos eran esp\u00edas que no ve\u00edan la hora de contarles a tus padres todo lo que hac\u00edas. Los domingos organiz\u00e1bamos "fiestas de limpieza de la manzana" donde todos barr\u00edamos las aceras y recog\u00edamos la basura mientras los adultos se sentaban en los porches a cotillear, los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os montaban en bicicleta y jugaban a la comba, y nuestra \u00fanica forma de combatir el calor era abrir la boca de incendios y mojarnos los pies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Para cuando tuve hijos, mi situaci\u00f3n personal hab\u00eda cambiado. Me cas\u00e9 y mi esposo y yo compramos una casa unifamiliar en las afueras. Cada decisi\u00f3n sobre las actividades de nuestros hijos \u2014f\u00fatbol, clases de baile, escuela\u2014 implicaba un an\u00e1lisis exhaustivo de los costos y un c\u00e1lculo del retorno de la inversi\u00f3n. Todav\u00eda no podemos permitirnos el lujo de "probar suerte" o sentir que es un desperdicio invertir en algo solo para que los ni\u00f1os lo dejen o no sobresalgan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

El barrio y su escuela eran bastante diversos. As\u00ed que, aunque su abuela (que se hab\u00eda mudado con nosotros) no era la \u00fanica mujer blanca de la zona, segu\u00edan sin estar familiarizados con lugares predominantemente blancos, ni con personas que realmente fueran lo que nosotros llamar\u00edamos ricas. Luego recibieron una beca para asistir a una escuela privada, que era mayoritariamente rica y mayoritariamente blanca. Hab\u00eda normas y tendencias sociales que mis hijos desconoc\u00edan por completo, y sent\u00edan que la gente hablaba un idioma extranjero. No ten\u00eda ni idea de qu\u00e9 eran las Islas Turcas y Caicos. Y no sab\u00eda que muchas familias enviaban a sus hijos a campamentos de verano con pernoctaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

La idea de un campamento de verano surgi\u00f3 de una serie de coincidencias y conexiones demasiado extensas para detallar aqu\u00ed. Si bien no son relevantes en este caso, lo que s\u00ed lo es es mi preocupaci\u00f3n de enviarlos a un lugar donde el s\u00edndrome del impostor se convirtiera en su realidad. Me preocupaba c\u00f3mo los recibir\u00edan los dem\u00e1s ni\u00f1os; me preocupaba que cambiara su percepci\u00f3n de la vida y la familia; me preocupaba que volvieran a casa con expectativas que yo no podr\u00eda cumplir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lo que encontr\u00e9, sin embargo, fue el ambiente m\u00e1s humilde, acogedor y comprensivo que mis hijos jam\u00e1s hubieran deseado. Todo en el campamento estaba dise\u00f1ado, intencionalmente, para ser igualitario, inclusivo y amable. Un lugar donde cada campista era valorado por ser quien es. El lema de Mowglis es: \u2019La fuerza del lobo reside en la manada, y la fuerza de la manada reside en el lobo\u201c. Y es cierto. Mi hijo se hizo m\u00e1s fuerte gracias a su manada, y Mowglis se asegura de que las familias sepan que Mowglis es m\u00e1s fuerte gracias a lo que cada campista aporta a la comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
