From Tragedy to Triumph: Kijuan Amey’s Journey After a Life-Changing Motorcycle Accident

What do you do when life is going perfectly—until it’s not?
In this powerful episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland talks with Kijuan Amey—a U.S. Air Force veteran, entrepreneur, and traumatic brain injury survivor whose life changed in an instant.

At just 25, Kijuan was thriving: one year from earning his degree, running his own business (Kiwi Enterprise LLC), and proudly serving his country. Then, a sudden motorcycle accident nearly took it all away.

But instead of asking, “Why me?”, Kijuan chose a different question: “What now?” Through faith, grit, and a desire to help others, he turned unimaginable trauma into purpose—and a message of hope.

In this candid conversation, Kijuan shares the highs and lows of his recovery journey, the physical and emotional hurdles he overcame, and how he learned to see life through a new lens. He also opens up about his book, Don’t Focus on Why Me: From Motorcycle Accident to Miracle, a powerful memoir that motivates readers to persevere through their own struggles.

Whether you’re facing a setback or supporting someone who is, Kijuan’s story is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, healing—and transformation—is possible.

Tune in for a story of resilience, purpose, and the miracles that can emerge from adversity.
