“You can’t tell me it can’t be done because I’m actually doing it.” That’s not just a bold statement—it’s a life mantra lived out loud by Domo Jones, a powerhouse of resilience, creativity, and unshakable purpose. Her nomination for Author of the Year at the Influencer Magazine Awards 2025 is more than recognition—it’s a celebration of breaking barriers, page by page.

Living with a disability that requires the use of a walker and leg braces for balance, Domo has never let her condition define her limits. After enduring two brain surgeries, six years of chemotherapy, and five weeks of radiation, she chose not just to survive—but to inspire. And through her words, she’s been doing just that for an entire community often left unheard.

With six self-published books under her belt, Domo’s writing amplifies voices from the disabled community and beyond, challenging outdated narratives and pushing readers to embrace strength in vulnerability. Her books aren’t just stories—they’re movements. They’re a hand on your shoulder that says, “You matter. You can do this.”

But Domo’s impact doesn’t end at the page. She’s a Master Certified Disability Confidence Coach, a bold entrepreneur, and the founder of three businesses, including: KnuYou Services – Helping small businesses build custom brand strategies and expand their presence abroad, The Salve Society – An unapologetic apparel line that represents the disabled community with strength, style, and boldness and in August 2021, she became the host of “One Billion Brave”—the first-ever disability talk show hosted by someone with a disability that only interviews guests with disabilities. That’s not just a milestone—it’s history in the making.

Through her platform, Domo has become a voice of empowerment, especially for those who’ve been told “they can’t.” She reminds the world that people with disabilities are not to be pitied or sidelined—they’re innovators, leaders, creators, and storytellers. And in Domo’s case, they’re also best-selling authors, coaches, and changemakers.

Her mission is clear: Break the stigma. Push the boundaries. Remember your value.
She doesn’t just write books—she rewrites perceptions.

With a heart full of purpose and a mind that refuses to settle, Domo Jones is a force that keeps rising—and taking others with her. Her nomination for Author of the Year is not just for her literary talent—it’s for the lives she’s shifting, the stereotypes she’s smashing, and the truth she keeps telling: You’re never counted out. Congratulations, Domo. You didn’t just write a success story—you are one.
