In this powerful and emotionally candid episode of Martial Attitude Voice, Kijuan Amey joins Mathias Alberton to share his extraordinary story of survival and adaptation following a life-altering motorbike accident that left him blind and coping with a traumatic brain injury. Kijuan opens up about the deep and ongoing impact the accident had—not only on his physical abilities but also on his memory, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships.

Through a conversation marked by honesty and vulnerability, Kijuan describes the daily challenges of navigating life with unfiltered emotional responses and short-term memory loss, and how these affect his sense of identity and connection with others. He offers listeners a raw insight into what it's like to feel misunderstood, to live with invisible impairments, and to work tirelessly at regaining control, one day at a time. This is a conversation about resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of empathy and, crucially, of the will to take actions to regain one's independence.
