Heba Al Samt

Co-Founder of the UAE’s first online Majlis

At the young age of 27, she along with her co-founders, Hanan Huwair and Ayesha AlJanahi, are creating a community that brings together Emiratis to share, engage, and exchange ideas and thoughts. She understands the powerful tool of social media to reach the young people in the community working to create positive, equitable and sustainable change.

Some of the areas of focus include:

  • Breaking down stereotypes
  • Fostering dialogue within the UAE
  • Creating connections and dialogue between Emiratis, ex-pats and people globally
  • Harness the powerful tool of social media while creating a platform for Emiratis
  • Working to create positive, equitable and sustainable change while celebrating Emirati identity

Ms. Samt was quoted as saying, "Some people may judge you. Many won’t have your back. Others won’t even care to understand or listen, but as long as you can dream, there’s nothing you can’t accomplish" – Heba Al Samt Heba
