In this episode, I’m sharing with you a conversation I had with Francisca Rockey (@franrockey), a geographer, campaigner, influencer, advocate and activist who is regularly involved in social campaigns, and charity fundraising. She is also a blogger, writer and public speaker featured in mainstream and online media.
She founded Black Geographers (@blackgeographers), a community interest company working to tackle black people’s erasure in geography by creating a platform for black geographers to connect. The platform has a global audience of over 10,000 members.
Francisca is studying geography as an undergraduate, and in this chat, we talk about what led her to study geography, how she started the Black Geographers platform, the work they are doing and the goals she hopes to achieve through the platform.
We also discuss her work as a writer, specifically some recent articles published by Euronews which I definitely recommend you read.
After diving into her work, Francisca then shares incredibly important perspectives surrounding looking after your mental health, especially when engaging in such crucial work, and the importance of setting boundaries.
Definitely a lot to learn from this conversation, and lots of useful advice to take away.
