Thank you for this video. Very interesting ! It would be wonderful if you could expand on this topic and make it a sort of miniseries, featuring each of these business owners, one by one, and getting a more in depth interview with each of them. It would be so cool to find out what inspired them to move to Iceland; what obstacles they encountered while establishing their businesses, and how they overcame them , etc . I am always awed by people like you, who find the courage to uproot themselves and choose to get immersed in a new culture and learn to love and appreciate it.
Thanks for the feedback. I have interviewed a few of them on the audio only part of the podcast and I plan to do more. It would be amazing for it to be on video too. Will see about that. 😊
Woooooowwww‼️ This content was extraordinary! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼You have interviewed Claudia before, but how about interviewing the other entrepeneurs you showcased here? They all have lived sizeable lengths of time in Iceland, both assimilating and maintaining a semblance of their culture. It would be awesome to hear their stories. True to form, you're on to something significant here, Jewells❣️💯 Excellent work‼️🌟🌟🌟
I saw your interwiev with an other woman from the US who was very frustrated for not getting residence permit. I think you dont realize you came across as entitled. I cant get visa in the US or any other nation I apply to for visa to work and stay as long as I want. As a Norwegian I can move to Scandinavian countries but other than that I have no privilege, no rights to move to US and I know that. If I travel I know there are rules I have to follow. I find it very rude to bash a country for having immigration laws. In Iceland, one of the first, if not the first democratic state based on the rule of law was implementet. In our time we have mass migration on almost every continent and we have to obide by the nations law even if we are denied visa. The ranting about how wrong you are treated do not work to manipulate me to feel sorry for you. If you want to become Islandic, get an education Island need. Or train to be an expert in a field where you can get a work visa. I would love to move to Hawaii but as a foreigner I need one million dollar, at least in the bank and I need to proove I will start a buisness and hire locals and so on. Wonder what you would say if Island demanded that from you? Every country with appeal to foreigners are making immigrant laws harder and way more expensive after covid and the emerging work from home, remote workers turned into nomads working globally and living globally. Countries takes advantage of the influx of relative well off international workers and want a slike of the cake this foreigners are eating. Island is a small and demografic voulnerable. People from distant continents cant demand to be given citizenship.
When we were in Blonduos last summer, I noticed an Ethiopian restaurant and assumed it was black owned. We did not get a chance to go inside, but I would have loved to have tried their food. They are only open for dinner. The name of the restaurant is Teni. Reviews on TripAdvisor are excellent.
Thank you so much for this video. It's wonderful that you thought to showcase these entrepreneurs like yourself from different parts of the world who have made Iceland their home 😊
Thank you Jewels for featuring so many different black owned businesses in Iceland. It was so good to see the various people of color from different places who now call Iceland their home. I enjoyed this so much. You did a great job.
I went to Iceland, just got back 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. Loved the food and the people. It felt at home. Might go again to experience the Aurora. We shall see. I've gotta go back to Sandholt lol 🇮🇸🇨🇦
I have to say Iceland has come a long way. I have black friends in Iceland, back in the days they couldn't buy hair products or get decent haircuts. I am amazed how much you like Iceland. I live in the northern part of Arizona and we get snow, but the next day the sun is shining. Thank you for those fun, and informative videos.
I'm an ex-pat from the US to Costa Rica... wouldn't go back to the US... stress is too cray cray. I've done 3 vacations in Iceland & really am in awe of the landscape & nature... would love to do 6 mos or so there... Jewels... House swap CR & Iceland for a month? 😊
I was a bit surprised at this post, until I reflected on it. Then I realized that being black in a community like Iceland has it's set of unique challenges, even simple things like suitable hair products. I count myself fortunate to live in a small community that is free of racism or nationalism - to the best of my knowledge. I realize there will always be some ignorant or hateful arseholes in every community, but if the community as a whole ignores them they are, in effect, pissing into the wind.
Thank you for this video. Icelandgas been on my list to visit, but had never seen black people there. Was wondering if i would be welcolmed. Beacause of the color if my skin,which is sad but true for some places in this world
Very interesting! Thanks for this Jewels. It so happens that Play Airlines make weekly trips to Iceland from my small air port in upstate NY. I’m so tempted to book a flight to visit. 😊
I'm absolutely in love with Grace's Designs! Like particularly the beautiful Green Peep- Shoulder Dress. Thank you so much for another awesome video Jewels! If able more content like this or longer interviews I think it be so cool.
@@AllThingsIceland What I liked most is that you very gently and kindly let me (and other viewers) know that Iceland is a more diverse country than just you and 375,000 two-metre tall Vikings. It was a delicate corrective to a (my) stereotype. Also, if the lady who is the dress designer decides to diversify into making men's shirts, could you do another video? Just from the brief seconds of her. you can tell she's got superb cutting and impeccable style.
@@darriendastar3941 I was thinking about the same woman. Tailors and seamstress have pretty much gone out of fashion in the USA. My parents era and their ancestors did a lot of tailoring and seamstress. Jewels, is it possible to get this woman's contact information? I am interested in having summer dresses (I live in the Arizona desert 🥵🏜🧊) made, because I love wearing dresses...casual dresses. Thank you.
Years & years ago Iceland wanted to be left alone & keep things as they are. After WWII.. the Icelandic Govt asked the USA to not send any dark skinned soldiers to the new military base they were building. A bit of a dreary situation.. but that's what it was.
@@AllThingsIceland I guess like anything else people need to evolve & learn. Smoking was pushed as being "glamorous" in the Fifties. 45% of adults smoked. (I can't wrap my brain around that). More recently it's down to 14% (I can't wrap my brain around THAT EITHER). So.. we're evolving.
Hello Jewels, thank you for sharing your journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland. My heart is filled with joyful envy as I reminisce about my own connection to that magical place. My first visit to Iceland was in 2009 for a conference, and the moment I set foot on its sacred ground, I was enchanted. The land called me back five more times, not only to bask in its beauty but also to conduct workshops on recycling (I am also a designer with a focus on Sustainability), sharing my passion for preserving this Earth we all cherish. In 2012, my travels paused as my son, my greatest blessing, made his grand entrance into my life. Although I haven’t returned since, my love for Iceland never waned. I wasn’t aware of the presence of Black-owned businesses in Iceland, except for Kafe Haiti, I'm not sure if it's still open. It warms my heart to see how the place has evolved and grown. I'm planning to return with my son soon, to share with him the beauty and spirit of a land that holds such a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing your light with us. I look forward to the day our paths cross in that wondrous land. Sending you love, light, and blessings.
Hey Jewells. My husband and I are planning to visit Iceland next year along with our 10 year old son. What month do you recommend to visit Iceland to have the best experience of ICELAND
Whatttttt. I was surprised to see your vlog on this channel. Now you are telling me there's black people with businesses 😳. Best wishes and good luck too all of you guys. Much success 🇺🇸
those not black people those are mostly Africans big time difference smh , just because someone is brown or black skin does not mean they are the same race , u must get your learning skills up first to teach
They were all made aware of the video’s title and were very happy to be in the video as black people. Not sure why that bothers you but to each their own.
I guess you haven't looked in the mirror and see what color you are lately do you know your ancestors come from Africa so you are considered black or African-American or maybe you want to call yourself White
Ooh, not only are you the catalyst for my diving deepeR into "alL things Iceland", but via this particular, specific route I have also had the pleasure of coming into the knowledge of your fellow Sistah queen Claudia (a couple of years back, or so), and to see you also give her the "green light" just solidifies my ❤️ even morE on supporting, exploring anD prOmoting such fantastic endeavors boO!!! 😘
This is so GOOD . This is what i wanted to know. When i saw the blue magic i went back to childhood days also. I love to see more like this and explain their money currency, and does everyone live in apartments or ppl do buy houses.
Been meaning to check out Afro Zone, i like going to the foreign foodstores catering to the eastern europeans, and it makes sense checking out the afro foods. Also been cursing the fact that the one Ethiopian place is somewhere i've got no business going except for going to the restaurant. Wanted to try Ethiopian food ever since The Simpsons showed it, and for a few months it felt like pop culture and algorithms really wanted me to try it.
I hope you do get a chance to check out AfroZone. Yea, I made a trip out to Flúðir just for the restaurant. It was a nice drive, so I considered it an evening adventure with dinner 😂😂 Thanks for sharing.
I am sitting in my yard (Carribean Trinidad) and wondering what life would be in iceland.The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and in fact, it is so hot.😊
Thanks for this for this video.If I visit Iceland at any time, it is because of the information given by you .The government should pay u a special commission for this video or use to work in their tourism department ❤
Just came back from Iceland with my son. We are British born African. The Iceland people are lovely and polite , quite warm . I enjoyed our stay in Reykjavik, although expensive, however if you look around enough you will find a lot within your budget.
WOW I LOVE seeing where different humans move from and to in this planet. Imagine all their stories and what brought them from one fascinating location to another totally different but equally fascinating country ❤️. Thanks for sharing
I love this video!!! Thank you for showing Black-owned business in Iceland. I'm in Washington, DC, but love to support Black-owned businesses from all over. I wonder if they ship some items? I will look up Gracelandic. Thanks Jewells!! 🤗
In 1986 when I left Iceland their was only one black lady who had become a citizen. At least she told me she was the first. She was from Nigeria . Nice to see how many new businesses are run ,by people of color.
I'm glad you created this video. Because I plan to make another trip to Iceland this summer. When I was there last time I think I was the only black person I saw. That wasn't a negative cuz people were very welcoming. But it was still curious not to see any other than myself.

Never thought so much diversity in Iceland, makes me happy to hear. Love how the world "is all over" these days.

How hard is it for a retired American to move to Iceland? I've been twice and love it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Great question and I’m not sure what the process is.
Are this business really Black owned or Black Co-Ownership?
