TikTok user MJ was involved in a horrific road accident that completely changed and redefined her life.
Impact of road accident on MJ
She detailed the impact of the accident on her body, as it left her with permanent injuries.
“I remember how I started school full of life... walking, laughing, dreaming big, never imagining how much things would change.
Then the accident happened. My spine broke. My leg broke. And with that, a part of me broke too. My world shifted in ways I wasn’t prepared for, emotionally, physically, and mentally,” part of her caption read.
MJ was confined to a wheelchair after the accident, which left her paralysed.
MJ opens up on challenges after road accident
She had to confront a flood of emotions as her life took a drastic turn, one from which she would never fully recover.
“I had to learn life in a wheelchair. I had to fight pain, fight depression, fight isolation. There were nights I cried myself to sleep, mornings I didn’t want to wake up. But through it all, God held me. He carried me when I couldn’t carry myself,” she added.
However, none of that deterred her from pursuing her educational dreams. Instead, it motivated her to work even harder.
Her efforts paid off when she finally graduated from Kenya College of Accountancy (KCA) University.

“This graduation isn’t just about academics; this is survival. This is healing. This is me refusing to give up. This is God proving that broken doesn’t mean finished.
To everyone who stood by me, who believed in me, and who helped me get here, thank you from the deepest part of my heart. To my younger self who thought it was over: You didn’t just survive. You rose,” she concluded.
She shared a video of herself at the graduation ceremony, moving proudly in her electric wheelchair while holding her academic credentials.
She radiated joy as she flaunted her achievement on social media.
