The life-altering incident occurred in 2018 when Hasan Al Mutawwa misjudged the depth of the swimming pool, diving in headfirst
Mohammed Hasan Al Mutawwa has always been an adventurer — “always on the move”. In 2018, however, an accident changed his life forever, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.
He felt lost, at some point, uncertain how he was going to live his life from that point on — until he found a calling. He turned his focus toward empowering people with disabilities and raising awareness about the challenges they face. His path shifted toward one of advocacy and support for others.
In the months following his return to Dubai from treatment in the US, Mohammed resumed his role as the director of the Sustainability Department at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). His health improved enough to allow him to continue his work, but he also felt a renewed sense of purpose.
Mohammed began documenting his experience online, with the goal of providing support to others in similar situations. He noticed a significant gap in Arabic-language content about living with disabilities, so he began creating videos to offer practical advice, raise awareness, and share his journey.
