It was an honour to have been invited to the Adchessfestival opening ceremony. At the start of the ceremony, I listened to H.E Hussein AlKhoori about his vision for chess in the city and it was truly inspiring. Meeting him afterwards was an absolute honour as he always enjoys speaking about chess. I’m so excited to visit the festival again during the week, and at the same time discuss my project and how it can have impact next year. As always, Bernard and the team at Radisson Blu provided a safe and nurturing environment for all participants to succeed. And also to everyone who organised the event saeedalkhouri

I’m beyond proud of my new book, William. A story that was written in my head from the age of 6. I’m so thankful to my publisher Austin Macauley Publishers UAE for making my life as an author develop into something special.

It was also an honour to have my book at the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation children’s reading festival. All proceeds from this book will be going back into the community through workshops to help children express their emotions in a unique, personal way.

Today, I visited Ether by Cloud Space (Etherbycs) at Yas Mall for the very first time, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere and energy of the store.

As a writer and poet, you spend countless hours putting words onto a page and dreaming that one day those words might sit on a bookshelf for others to discover. Today, that dream felt real.

Seeing my books on display was an incredible moment and one that filled me with pride, gratitude, and excitement for what lies ahead. For a few moments, I genuinely felt like the happiest author and poet alive.

A huge thank you to for displaying my books and supporting local authors.

And an enormous thank you to my wonderful publisher, .uae Austin Macauley Publishers UAE for believing in my work and helping turn my writing into reality.

Moments like these remind me why I started writing in the first place.

World Eating Disorders Day

Today, I am incredibly grateful to be able to say that I am a survivor. For much of my life, I lived with bulimia. It was a battle that consumed my thoughts, controlled my decisions, and left me feeling trapped in a cycle that often seemed impossible to escape. There were days when the weight of it felt unbearable, and moments when I genuinely believed I would never be free.

Today is different.

On World Eating Disorders Day, I am proud to unveil the front cover of my memoir, Hungry Eyes.

The title carries a meaning that is deeply personal to me. Hungry Eyes was chosen because, no matter how hard I tried to hide what I was going through, my eyes always told the truth. They reflected the struggle, the fear, the exhaustion, and the hunger that bulimia created. You can hide behaviours. You can hide feelings. But it is much harder to hide your eyes.

The word Eyes is deliberately crossed out on the cover. For years, I wanted my eyes hidden from the world because I was terrified that someone would see what I was carrying inside. Yet, despite all my efforts, they were always there, silently telling my story.

This cover has been years in the making. It represents pain, survival, healing, acceptance, and hope. More than anything, it represents a version of myself that never thought he would one day be able to share this story openly.

Today, I stand proud, not because of what I endured, but because I survived it. To anyone currently struggling with an eating disorder: please know that recovery is possible, your story matters, and you are far stronger than you realise.

💚 Today, my eyes no longer tell a story of hiding. They tell a story of survival.

I’m thankful to my publisher .uae for allowing me to tell my story on this way. No confirmation has been finalised for a release date, but we are looking at September.
