It all started with a tweet.

From here, Francisca created the name ‘Black Geographers’ and started looking into the reasons why the number of black people in Geography is low.

Francisca created a Instagram and Twitter for BG and started following various Geography-based accounts in the hope of finding other black geographers and creating a community for black geographers to network and connect.

Our core team consists of 4 geography students in their final or postgraduate year of study and 5 working professionals, in and outside of geographical careers.
