24. Here's an Ally: ParkingNSites ft. Jawanza Lamar
This week's episode is with Jawanza Lamar, the founder of ParkingNSites, an organization dedicated to breaking down parking barriers and improving accessibility for mobility-challenged individuals.
After experiencing a life-changing accident, Jawanza saw firsthand the struggles people with mobility challenges face—especially when it comes to accessible parking and ADA compliance. This inspired him to take action and launch ParkingNSites to improve accessibility and ensure cities better accommodate mobility-challenged individuals.
In this episode, we dive into the unseen challenges related to accessible parking, particularly in major cities like Atlanta. Jawanza shares how he is using technology to address this issue and is collaborating with city officials to raise awareness and drive community involvement to make meaningful change. We also discuss the policies he hopes to see improved in the coming years and his vision for the future of ParkingNSites.
