Aldís Amah Hamilton is an actress, game character and flight attendant. An amazing conversation from my recent trip to Iceland. In her hometown of Reykjavík, Aldís was the Fjallkona for this year's National Day celebration. "The Lady of the Mountain" is a representative of the nation. She performed a poem that was written by musician Bubba Morthens specially for this event Landið flokkar ekki fólk eftir 'The country does not classify people'. Listen to her performance here: bit.ly/34TMHYO. We shared stories on the mixed-race experience, the importance of language in Icelandic culture and the power of representation in media from TV to games. Born to an Icelandic mother and African-American father. As a German-speaking, curly haired kindergartener she moved from Germany to Iceland. She joined her class as the first child with a foreign background. The first of many "first" experiences.Catch her in the first Icelandic series 'The Valhalla Murders' co-produced by Netflix — coming out this December! As well, she plays Ryn in The Darken: Echoes of the End.
