Navigating a New Era of Social Storytelling in the Age of Backlash

Biography

23-year-old Grace Keeling aka GKBarry first rose to fame back in COVID-19 lockdown when she started posting funny and relatable story time videos to TikTok. In under two years, Grace has amassed over 3.2 million on TikTok, and over 460k on Instagram, making a huge name for herself.

Grace launched her podcast, Saving Grace, back in April last year which ranked straight to n.o 2 in the top 10 podcasts in the UK across Spotify and Apple. In early 2023 Grace took her podcast on a UK Tour, with tickets selling out in under 2 minutes. With over 1 Million audio listens and 10 million YouTube views a month, Saving Grace has become on of the most successful UK female podcasts.

Grace’s impeccable talent to incorporate her self-deprecative humour yet charming relatability is recognised in her current brand relationships; Grace is a current brand ambassador for Footasylum.
