01: Brewing Belonging Josh Owh, Postern Coffee
Episode 1
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
Through the partnership of We Love Buford Highway and Open Table Community, Voices of a Highway returns to celebrate the people who make Atlanta’s most diverse corridor feel like home. Buford Highway is a community shaped by migration, resilience, and belonging. This series amplifies the everyday stories of neighbors, small business owners, and community leaders whose voices reflect the beauty, the struggle, and the complexity of immigrant life in the South.At a time when these communities continue to face pressure to assimilate or disappear, Voices of a Highway offers something different: a reminder that these stories aren’t on the margins of our city’s story, but the heartbeat of it.In this first episode of revitalized Voices of a Highway series, we sit down with Josh Owh, co-founder of Postern Coffee in Doraville, Georgia.What begins as a conversation about coffee unfolds into a reflection on creativity, calling, and community. Josh shares how his journey—from math major to music ministry to entrepreneur—has been shaped by both his Korean American heritage and the layered culture of Buford Highway.Through stories of family, risk, and resilience, Josh explores what it means to build something lasting: a space that honors where you come from while pushing the culture forward.“Our goal is to honor culture and push the future.”This episode was produced in partnership with We Love Buford Highway and Open Table Community as part of the newly relaunched Voices of a Highway podcast—spotlighting the lived experiences, wisdom, and resilience of Buford Highway’s immigrant and refugee communities.
