Lift Up is back for a second season! Season 2 of this storytelling project will elevate LGBTQ+ voices in the high desert. This KZMU series intends to deepen understanding and empathy within our community and reinforce a sense of safety and belonging for all.

She recently released an album called Trans Galactic which she produced herself. Outside the arts, Josephine enjoys birdwatching, herbalism, ecology and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.
