We have partnered with UVU to make an incredible event that will help you understand what you are capable of, and your true potential.
Come join us for an event that will change your life, with amazing speakers!
TWENTYU is more than just an athletic clothing brand that makes amazing and quality products. It is a community, movement and a lifestyle.
Our message starts with a few questions.
Ask yourself, why was I born at this time and not 600 years ago? Or 1,000 years ago? Why now? What does God want from me?
Your PURPOSE is one of the most important things you can know. Knowledge about yourself is everything. You will realize that you are here to do a great work, and you have limited time to complete that work. That is why you must live with URGENCY every day.
At TWENTYU we are committed to help you achieve that PURPOSE, and we are here to remind you to live with URGENCY every day.
This is why we are doing this event. We invited people who are living their PURPOSE. People who stand out. People who overcame great challenges in their lives and used those experiences to serve and inspire others.
Come and let’s learn together. Let’s become better. Together, we can make a huge difference in this world.

The Native American Initiative Honors UVU by celebrating Native American Heritage
Month with the Native American Initiative Speaker Series on November 17th, 2022 at

Initiative.
Mission for Naaltsiilid Initiative: We strengthen the cultural and economic resilience
of Dinétah through self-reliance initiatives in the built environment.
About the speaker: Born and raised on Navajo Nation, Carmi is passionate about learning
her people’s stories, culture, and kinship. She is a member of the Towering House
Clan, born for the Red House Clan. Her maternal grandparents are the Salt People Clan
and her paternal grandparents are The One Who Walks Around Clan. Carmi grew up in
a family of carpenters and community leaders, an experience that shaped her interest
in working with her people to build a sustainable, self-sufficient life in hózhó.
She leads this work through listening and brings unconditional patience and empathy
to the relationships she cultivates with her community.
Carmi joined Nááts'íilid Initiative after partnering with DesignBuildBLUFF on the
Dennehotso Chapter Sweat Equity Project. As a community organizer, she draws on her
intimate knowledge of working with the Dennehotso, Kayenta, and Chilchinbeto chapters,
as well as the Navajo Housing Authority, and the Navajo Nation Land Department. She
also brings broad experience in construction and management, having previously worked
as a Journeyman Insulation Installer, a Site Interior Wall Forman, a Construction
Purchasing Manager, a Procurement and Proposal Manager, a General Office Manager,
and a Title Loan Manager. Carmi was selected to be in the 2020-2021 Change Labs Business
Incubator Program, which has supported the establishment and growth of Nááts'íilid
Initiative as a nonprofit business through funding, advisory services, and professional
development resources. As an emerging entrepreneur, she always puts her traditional
values first, an ethos she learned from her parents and grandparents.
