Ka’Darian “KD” Hill was a football player at Ole Miss and in 2023 was getting ready for the NFL Draft, destined to play with a pro football team. But in an instant, KD’s life changed when a car accident severely injured his leg, eventually leading to its amputation.

To many, this would be seen as a curse leaving them stuck asking God, “why me?” But not KD.

KD has channeled his positive attitude into new acts of service using his story as a pathway to motivational speaking and mentorship. "I wanted to play in the NFL, but God had something else for me," Hill said. "I have always known that God wanted me to do something to glorify him and impact him. I used to do that on the football field by mentoring to kids, but I did not know that was going to come to an end at 23 years old from an accident where my leg had to be amputated. There is always a lesson to be learned from the adversity you face in life, and I know that, even through this, God has plans to prosper me and not to harm me. This accident has allowed me to walk into my calling and purpose in life."
