"How To Be Queer" started out as a podcast (available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts) on one rainy, spring break day in March. Together because they're married, Kim Salvaggio and Alex Vaughan were lounging around and decided, "What the heck...let's start sharing share some of our experiences as queer people who came out midlife. Maybe it'll help someone else come out. Maybe it'll just let someone know they're not alone. Maybe it'll help a parent understand what their kid who just came out is going through..." How To Be Queer began to chronicle their lives as members of the LGBTQIA community while living in the heteronormative, cisgender world. Within 6 months of launching the podcast, Kim and Alex were being listened to in 27 different countries around the world which led to opportunities to top clients in the world. Kim and Alex decided to UHaul It (*queer reference) in January of 2020 and got married in November 2021. Alex, pronouns they/them, is a nonbinary trans-masculine human. Kim, pronouns she/her is a cisgender lesbian woman. Sadly, only 30% of couples stay together through a gender transition. Kim and Alex committed to each other, their 4 children and of course, their trusty animal side kicks bring their unique of blend of humor, crass and some serious understanding of ‘How to Be Queer’ podcast in a world that consistently says, ‘Can you not?” When not podcasting or presenting, Alex Vaughan works with an organization, YouthSeen, supporting to connect LGBTQIA youth and their families to wellness. Kim is the Chief DEI Officer for Rocky Mountain PBS.

My biggest strength is the ability to persevere. -Believes in delayed gratification. While growing up, I always got excited by looking at airplanes and aimed to become a pilot. I am not a pilot now. I became an entrepreneur. I did software engineering, then got an MBA degree in finance and marketing, then did jobs in marketing all through my career; people still ask me why the hell did you do software then? The answer was simple! To go and settle down in the US. God had a different plan for me. I am grateful to God for what I am today! I always had a spark in me to do something on my own. This is the only reason why I kept switching a number of jobs in a very short period but there was immense learning from those jobs. I always wanted to do things differently and didn’t want anyone to micro-manage my life! I love to network, and I am good at it I love to innovate and think out-of-the-box I love to build relationships I believe in real human connections than online I am good at managing people, especially large teams I can visualize the usage of technology in real-life applications I am a Sustainability evangelist I care about Impact more than growth Key Career Highlights- • Former Research Fellow in Sustainability from ISA- “International Sustainability Academy”, Hamburg, Germany • Coach at Climate KIC- Climate Launchpad- The EU’s innovation initiative. • Asia-Berlin Summit Speaker • Youtuber and Podcaster on sustainability- Subscribe to my YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/papun1978 • Currently co-founder for 2 startups-

After a long career as a corporate executive, Julie embarked on a journey to discover her roots. Using brief handwritten notes found among her father’s papers after he passed away, she set out to learn more about the ancestors whose DNA she shares. Julie has attended several genealogy courses, including the Genealogy Research Institute program on Practical Genetic Genealogy. She has also completed two 13-week programs on British Genealogical Research through The Society of Genealogists in London. Her genealogical research led her to a unique, mostly unknown, epic event that occurred just days after the end of the Civil War. She stumbled onto this event while researching her great, great, grandfather’s army service and P.O.W. records. As a result, she has become passionate about educating others about this event—especially high school and college students. Before becoming a self-professed genealogy addict, Ms. Adamik spent 45 years as a corporate human resources executive. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in business from San Diego State University. In addition to many public speaking engagements, she is past president of the North San Diego County Genealogical Society and a member of the National Genealogical Society, Illinois Genealogical Society, Ohio Genealogical Society, Society of Genealogists, and the Irish Genealogical Research Society. When not spending time (often late into the night) pulling her hair out trying to find her great-grandfather’s biological father, Ms. Adamik enjoys traveling, gardening and cooking. Julie will deliver a 45-minute PowerPoint presentation to your class, including the history of the ill-fated Sultana and a description of the capture and POW imprisonment of members of the Ohio 102nd OVI regiment. The Sultana Disaster: This incident was not “just” another steamboat that blew up and sunk. While licensed to carry 460 passengers and crew, the Sultana was loaded with about 2100 people. The vast majority, roughly 1900 men, were union civil war prisoners of war, recently released from Cahaba and Andersonville prisons. They were on their way home. You can imagine their excitement and longing as they boarded that steamboat! Sadly, most of them never made it. The Sultana Disaster has been acknowledged by Congressional Resolution as the greatest maritime disaster in United States history. On April 27, 1865 near Memphis, Tennessee, over 1000 former prisoners of war died when the Sultana exploded, caught fire, and sank. Investigations revealed a litany of corrupt practices, including kickbacks and bribes paid to high-ranking Union officers, which caused the overcrowding of the boat that led to this deadly disaster. Despite its significance, the Sultana has been overlooked in history because it was overshadowed at the time by the surrender of General Robert E. Lee and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. These events at the end of the Civil War conspired to wipe the memory of this tragic event
