Jamiel D. Owens - Creator/Host of “The Ausome show” : Co-host of “The Ben and J show” : Autism Father/Advocate
As a Father of a 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” from a perspective that is often too silent.
Jamiel is a worldwide published author for Autism Parenting Magazine as well as motivational speaker locally and internationally. Raised in North Philadelphia, Jamiel has served his and other communities in law enforcement, civil service, and is currently a volunteer firefighter in Hatfield, PA.

In this episode, you will get a picture of what it looked like for Special Needs Families in the 1950’s, what the options (or lack there of) were back then, and what the transition from sibling to caregiver entails. And then, you get to hear the Love, the Joy, and the Concerns from the perspective of a Special Needs Grandmother. This is a MUST LISTEN!

In this episode, we share about Life Since Season 1 … and discuss the hard topics that are at the forefront of our society today. This episode is slightly different than most in that our focus is not on our special needs world. Instead, we felt compelled to “speak up” and share our hearts about other topics such as social injustice.
We announce that Season 2 will also be on our YouTube Channel! You will be able to find the video recording of our Podcast, along with the full length video interview of all of our individual guests!

She has a heart to help people with “special abilities” thrive and grow, and has helped build an amazing platform for them to do just that.
The mission of Hugs Café Inc is to enhance the lives of adults with special needs through training and employment. It is our passion to offer a place of hope, understanding, grace, and success to each individual so they may be recognized for their abilities and talents in the community.
