Today on the podcast, Reykjavík Grapevine editor-in-chief Valur Grettisson and culture editor Josie Anne Gaitens speak to social media influencer Kyana Sue Powers, who is facing deportation from Iceland after her work visa was rejected.
While living in Iceland as a student, Kyana started sharing her experiences of life and her adventures in Iceland on social media, resulting in her garnering a huge following on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. After applying for a work visa here, Kyana has subsequently been denied a permit by the authorities, and given only 30 days before she is expected to leave the country, a decision that she is now trying to appeal.
