When asked if he ever thought he would reach this point while he was still in the hospital, DJ Evolve candidly shared his thoughts.
“Nilikuwa najiuliza ntawahi rudi kwangu nikiwa hospitalini…” he said, expressing the doubts and fears he had during the early days of his recovery.
Reflecting on the highlights of the day, DJ Evolve mentioned that he had discovered new things about himself that he wasn’t aware of before.
One memorable moment was when he found the strength to sit on the grass and hold his neck up, something he hadn’t done since his injury.

He also mentioned his ability to support himself with his hands, another small but significant achievement in his recovery.
Evolve described the experience as filled with both new and old moments. “I’ve had like 2-3 hours of new and old experiences. The last time I was able to sit down on the floor like this was way back in 2019. You’ve shown me there are ways to get up when you are down, and it’s a good thing,” he told Brian.
Brian Muchiri noted that their meet-up was part of a celebration for Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about spinal cord injuries and the challenges faced by those living with such conditions.
DJ Evolve was shot on January 17, 2020, an incident that left him confined to a wheelchair.
Despite the immense challenges, he has continued to show incredible strength and perseverance.
Reflecting on the day of the shooting, DJ Evolve shared, “God showed up for me, and He has been walking this journey with me ever since. I kept ignoring my alarm, but eventually, I had to go around 4 a.m. because I kept getting calls. I really didn’t want to go that night.”
He added a powerful message of hope, saying, “Nothing is promised; it is also impossible. Just keep going. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it wasn’t for God.”
These words serve as an encouragement not only for those recovering from similar injuries but also for anyone facing life’s challenges.
