Rev. Julica Hermann de la Fuente (she/ella) is a Unitarian Universalist minister who serves as the Lifelong Learning Manager at the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association (UUMA). In this role, she is passionate about supporting ordained UU ministers in skill acquisition, sustaining their ministerial call, and providing inspiring and energy-giving continuing education opportunities. She is also a coach, trainer and facilitator for liberation, transformation and justice.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Julica first became committed to social justice when she came to the United States for college. Since then, Julica has been an anti-racism/anti-oppression educator and trainer in a variety of capacities over the past three decades. In addition to a Lay Community Ministry degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School, she also holds an MSW from the University of Michigan and is certified as a master life coach.

Julica stubbornly believes that liberation is found at the intersection of joy and justice. When not on shift for the resistance, you will find her playing with fabric, planning her week-long costume extravaganza for Halloween, looking for more excuses to frost fancy cakes, and reading optimistic sci-fi and fantasy possibilities of a just and equitable universe.
