Clayton, who grew up in Utah and was educated in the Davis School District, said she hopes her contribution to the book can offer something to the younger generation: Representation of a new wave of Black society. Clayton added that it’s important for younger people to see someone like themselves in society. “I think oftentimes high schoolers and young folks, they make significant impacts on history … for them to see there are younger people that are taken seriously, there are younger people whose voices are heard and who are making a positive impact on our space,” she said.’s testimony for the book.
Working on the book allowed Jackson to connect with these individuals on a personal level, rather than just a business one. It allowed them, as a community, to explore different facets of Black culture. It’s a nod toward the broader idea of what it means to be Black in Utah.
