The first features 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. As well as, Ahmed Al Blooshi, who was encouraged by Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan to peruse a career in the museum field.
