With a global perspective shaped by travel to over 30 countries and work spanning South Korea, Ecuador, Spain, Egypt, and Iraq, Josiah brings extensive experience navigating the intersection of research, policy, law, and media to drive impact.
His legal background includes work with the Court of Appeals of Virginia, the U.S. Federal Public Defender, the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, and Handong International Law School. After law school, he served as a Research and Public Policy Fellow for a national organization engaged in impact litigation, campus organizing, and storytelling.

In recent years, Josiah has developed and executed strategy to improve conditions for LGBTQ+ and allied Tulsans through research and education in consultation with philanthropic, municipal, academic, and nonprofit leaders. As a mayoral-appointed Human Rights Commissioner for the City of Tulsa, Josiah spearheaded the launch of the city's inaugural 2SLGBTQ+ Committee. Under his leadership, the Committee mobilized several hundred Tulsans to civically engage in human rights advocacy, advancing the city toward equal protection under the law. Throughout his career, Josiah has been recognized for exceptional written and oral advocacy. In 2025, he received national recognition as a GLAAD Media Award nominee for Outstanding Print Article for an investigative piece he authored in the local paper examining the evolution of marriage equality in Oklahoma.
Josiah previously taught public speaking at Tulsa Community College. He currently teaches constructive policymaking at NYU-Tulsa with a focus on navigating ideological conflict and depolarization. Josiah holds a J.D. with Honors from Regent University School of Law and graduated summa cum laude as Outstanding Communication Senior from Oral Roberts University with a B.A. in Communication.
