  • Father, Autism Advocate and Community Leader- Jamiel Owens (Ausome Show)

    As a Father of an 12 year old who is on the Autism spectrum, Jamiel Owens is truly an advocate for his son Shayne and other Autism parents.

    "The Ausome show " has inspired Jamiel to take up his space as a dedicated father and activist through his interaction with others. The Ausome show has also paved the way for Jamiel's presence as an African-American father of a child with special needs to "speak up and speak out" to and from a perspective that is often silent. Raised in North Philadelphia, Jamiel has served his and other communities as law enforcement, civil servant, and is currently an volunteer firefighter in Hatfield, PA.
    Jamiel also believes and implements a religious foundation when speaking to other Fathers; he states "fathers' souls are the key to embracing and truly loving their "Ausome" child."
