As social media timelines fill with speculation and fear, familiar faces across the UAE are gently steering the conversation back to trust, calm and verified information
In times of uncertainty, the digital landscape often becomes a whirlwind of "doom-scrolling" and unverified rumours. So when familiar faces step up to challenge that narrative with messages of hope and stability, it can feel like a much-needed anchor.
From media moguls to entrepreneurs, these notable personalities are reminding the public to find the “glass half full” by prioritising official information, staying safe at home, and leaning into the deep sense of gratitude that defines life in the UAE.
Anas Bukhash
Entrepreneur and interviewer Anas Bukhash chose to speak about what he called a “calm confidence” in the nation’s leadership and authorities.
In a video shared on his feed—one that quickly drew hundreds of supportive comments—he reflected on the trust many residents feel.
“For every person who's chosen this country as their home, for the 200-plus nationalities... it’s really nice to see how they’re hopeful, they’re calm. They're so trusting of this country and nation,” he shared in the video.
Kris Fade
As the voice of morning radio for millions, Kris Fade has utilised his massive global reach to act as a stabilising force for residents and their families abroad.
