Lift Up: Josh Patterson

Lift Up is a KZMU storytelling project intending to deepen understanding and empathy within our community and reinforce a sense of safety and belonging for all. 

Our next Lift Up storyteller is Joshua Patterson. A two-year transplant, Josh hopes to one day be considered a full Moabite. He is currently working on a degree in history in hopes to be a history teacher. He lives with his husband, and enjoys reading, video games, and eating as much Filipino food he can get.

Image Description: Joshua Patterson, a person with short hair, wears sunglasses in a blue suit. Joshua dips a person in a dark suit, his husband, and they both smile at the camera. They are in front of a brightly colored mural reading ‘Greetings from Moab.’
