Abu Dhabi Government Media Office (ADGMO) has launched Abu Dhabi Story, a new platform designed to grow community spirit and share the untold stories of people in the community.
The platform will showcase stories sourced from Abu Dhabi via Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, offering a window into the lives of Abu Dhabi’s multicultural community. All the stories will show people pushing the boundaries in exciting ways, including citizens and residents sharing their favourite places or aspects of the city, as well as celebrations of diversity, inclusion and community.
Stories featured on the platform include Dorian Rogers, an educator who started Rooftop Rhythms, a spoken-word poetry night connecting members of the Abu Dhabi community through their love for prose; and Ahmed Al Blooshi, who was encouraged by Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan to pursue a career in the museum field. After completing his higher education, Ahmed now works at Louvre Abu Dhabi, fulfilling the leadership’s vision for Emirati youth.
The platform will also showcase members of the community who have practiced acts of kindness to benefit the wider community, including Khawla Barley who established Goals UAE, an organization that provides inclusive recreational activities for People of Determination.
Her Excellency Maryam Eid Al Mheiri, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office, commented: “The channel will amplify authentic, inspirational, untold stories of people, places and communities of Abu Dhabi, which speak to who we are, what we believe, and where we are going. These stories celebrate the people, personalities and hidden gems of our emirate.”
