Blind, Bold, and Brilliant: Seeing Beyond Limits with Kijuan Amey

When life comes crashing down—literally—what do you do next?

On this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I talk with Kijuan Amey (ameymotivation.com), a U.S. Air Force veteran, blind comedian, musician, and motivational powerhouse whose story redefines what it means to rise after tragedy. One moment he was flying high, running his own business, serving in the Air Force, and chasing a pilot’s license. The next, a motorcycle accident flipped his entire world upside down.

But here’s where Kijuan’s story takes off. Instead of asking “Why me?” he wrote a book called Don’t Focus on Why Me (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737036614?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_4M53B40XBMSWFSVQBSCD_1) and built a new life around his philosophy of Winning in Life’s Lessons (WILL). From relearning to walk to turning blindness into what he calls his superpower, Kijuan embodies resilience with a side of humor. He’s now a speaker, author, and stand-up comedian who helps others see (yes, see!) that obstacles are just opportunities in disguise.

His story will make you laugh, make you think, and maybe make you question what’s really holding you back.
