Who is "Black Girl in Utah"?

That would be me. Yeah, enough said. KIDDING! Hi, my name is Tabitha and it might be a tiny bit obvious, but I now reside in Utah. I am a black girl in Utah. Not only do I live in Utah, but I really love living here. This title of my blog came about with something that happened to me the other day. However, this blog won't be all about the perils of being black in Utah. There's actually a lot of symbolism in the title of the blog. What color comes to mind when you think of " Utah"? White, right? If that's so then you're following right along with me. I am black in a white world--so to speak. Black and white mixed together creates gray. Gray is where I am when I am trying to balance the internal voices. The voices of my black culture and my white culture. Black and white also represents rules. We use phrases like " this is black or white". So in it's totality black and white represents who I am. Outside of my race and where I live, the title of the blog fits my personality. My personality as it was, not as it is becoming. I now have added a splash of pink to my black and white. How did we go from black and white to pink?! Pink represents all the other parts of me that does not fit inside the pretty little boxes of black or white. Pink represents my femininity that I walk fully in. I am a gal who loves all things pink and girly. You may even catch a few posts about makeup or hair related stuff. Pink represents things that I love like running, swimming, biking, triathlons and fitness. It also represents Psychology. I am currently a college student studying Psychology. I love it. Last but not least, pink represents Jesus. I love Jesus. Let me repeat: I love Jesus. I attend a church and am religious by the mere definition of the word, but I LOVE JESUS. Therefore, it will be very unlikely you'll find me NOT talking about Jesus. I am nothing without Him and He's in everything I am and do. So you'll be seeing the name of Jesus a lot around these parts of the net.

Confused yet? If so, that's okay. We're together in this confusion. I am not confining myself to a box of what I will or won't blog about. If it's important to me and I feel the need to blog about it, you'll find it here. My hope is that my ideas, thoughts and experiences can help someone else. Thank you for joining me on this new journey of blogging!
