Francisco Kilgore
Francisco Kilgore is a storyteller. Over the past five years he has lived on three continents and worked in four languages across nonprofits and media trying to understand and better communicate peoples' experiences.
Francisco believes that everyone has a story, and that every story is interesting if you ask the right questions. Through his radio show, Hello Sonoma!, he created almost 100 hour-long weekly radio episodes exploring this principle, researching and interviewing people in eight countries.
Before journalism, Francisco developed and augmented services for community members experiencing homelessness for the county and city of Sonoma in California.
He recently graduated with a masters at Columbia School of Journalism where he honed his storytelling skills and hope to bring his stories to wider audiences.
