Sean VanderWaal: Can you tell me about your background, such as educational and occupational?
Julie Nemecek: Yes, I have a master's in Divinity and a PhD in education. I've worked for twenty years as a minister before going into higher education. I'm a transsexual, and when I transitioned I lost my job in Spring Arbor University with my public display and did over a hundred media interviews in 2007. A lot of that pushed me into activism. I've been doing lobbying on my own but also at Michigan Equality where I've been employed for some time. I'm a registered lobbyist.
