Black Utah highlights the stories and experiences of the Black community living in Utah. You'll hear from dozens of individuals with diverse backgrounds sharing why Utah has a community for them and how they are thriving in this increasingly dynamic corner of the Mountain West. While hundreds of voices could have been included in this book, we are just bringing you a small sample from this ever-growing community made up of pioneers and change-makers who are actively creating a culture that lets all of us call Utah “home.”

You’ll hear first-hand accounts of what it’s like to be a part of the Black community in Utah, including:

What we are doing in corporate and small business
Who are the emerging and veteran change-makers
What Black Utahns are doing to shape policy and law
How we create and influence art, dining, and entertainment
What religious leadership looks like

Less and less is Utah looked upon as a ‘hidden gem’ or overlooked completely. Utah is a place for business and for opportunity; it is a place where you can experience the outdoors in its wildest forms and feel welcome when you walk out your door. Utah is growing and it is changing—a reflection of the communities that breathe life into it.

While the Black community in Utah is small, it is stronger than ever and growing every year. There is still so much work to be done, but what we’re here to share is that there is a place for you in this community. This is a collaborative, creative, and thriving place made up of people who are ready and able to change the world. This... is Black Utah.

        I have watched, first hand, Aanjel grow in to an amazing young woman. From seeing her as a little girl at church, to a business professional, she has never feared taking any role, always willing to learn and become better. She's a leader, a growing influencer, and has a bright future ahead of her, particularly in leading Diversity and Inclusion efforts in a company. She's very knowledgable in this field and seems to be one step ahead as it continues to evolve.  Neelam Chand
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I’ve had the privilege to work closely with Aanjel at Zions Bank in my role as a Diversity & Inclusion Officer. Aanjel led the regional diversity initiatives and was a prominent member of the diversity, equity, and inclusion committee. I was always amazed by her ability to strategically think about fostering a more inclusive working space - typically grounded in research. In fact, she became my go-to when it came to conversations around diversity recruitment, training, and changing the workplace culture. Not only is she a powerhouse of knowledge and expertise in the D&I space, but I’ve also seen her in action as she made tangible changes within our organization. Needless to say, Aanjel is an extraordinary leader in the D&I world, and I highly recommend her.
