Julie Vu shares hair and makeup tutorials like a lot of other fashion and beauty YouTubers out there. She also happens to be a transgender woman who documented her entire transition experience on social media. As an advocate for the LGBT community, the Vancouverite uses YouTube as a platform “to educate and change people’s perspective on transgender people”.

You’re a Queen. Never let anyone half love you.

More recently she put together another very personal video titled “Phone Call With Dad” which starts off with an excerpt from a phone conversation with her father about being transgender as a prelude to a poem she wrote. “A little poem I wrote! Regardless, he will always be my father and I love him even though he doesn’t understand.”
