The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Kijuan Amey, Wounded Warrior & Motivational Speaker, Ep 53
From Air Force Staff Sergeant to blind motivational warrior—Kijuan Amey’s story is one of grit, grace, and ground-shaking resilience.
After a devastating motorcycle accident left him in a coma and permanently without sight, Kijuan didn’t just survive—he redefined what it means to truly live.
In this unforgettable episode, he opens up about the raw reality of hitting rock bottom, the mental battles more grueling than physical ones, and the journey to reclaim his purpose.
With honesty and heart, Kijuan dismantles the stigma around mental health, especially among veterans, and shares how vulnerability, therapy, and community became the tools that saved him.
Now a mentor, speaker, and founder of Amey Motivation LLC, Kijuan’s message is clear: "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating life after loss, seeking strength, or learning to start over.
