On May 5, 2017, Kijuan Amey's life was changed in an instant. A serious motorcycle accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord infusion, two broken legs—and permanent vision loss. At the time, Kijuan was proudly serving in the U.S. Air Force and running his own creative business.
But this isn’t a story about what he lost. It’s about everything he’s built since. In Episode 52, Kijuan takes us through his powerful journey from tragedy to triumph—sharing how he learned to walk again, adapted to life without sight, and stepped into a new purpose as a motivational speaker, mentor, author, and adaptive athlete.
What we cover in this episode: The day that changed Kijuan’s life His journey through recovery, rehab, and resilience Living without sight—but never without vision Reclaiming purpose and identity
Quotes that define his mindset:
👉 “My situation doesn’t define who I am. I define who I am.”
👉 “I may have lost my sight, but I didn’t lose my vision.”
🎧 This is a powerful reminder that falling down isn’t the end—it’s a chance to fall up.
