DaNae Elton - Navajo

Tribe of Testimonies

In so many ways, DaNae feels like a sister to me. We both grew up so loved by both sides of our families, but yet there was a cultural disconnect. Not an intentional or harmful disconnect, but more situational. At BYU, DaNae started looking more into who she was as a whole person, and that included spending time with relatives she had really only just spent holiday time with. Now she embraces more than ever who she is as a whole person. She loves her life and wants to share her identity as a child of God through her church life, work life, and social life. She wants to share her identity because she wants others to know they, too, are children of God and belong as they are. Don't forget--you are a child of God!
