As a Father of a 16-year-old boy who is on the Autism spectrum, Jamiel Owens is truly an advocate for his son
Shayne and other Autism parents. Jamiel has been through many challenges and triumphs in his life as a disabled individual himself, which has led him to give back to other men who may be experiencing the same issues within their own lives and, without someone to speak to about them. Raised in North Philadelphia, Jamiel has served his and other communities as a law enforcement officer, a civil servant, and is currently the Family Relations Coordinator at the Center for Autism Research at CHOP, and a volunteer firefighter.
