Calvin Rock’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am a writer by passion and a journalist by both passion and profession. I care about the climate, the environment just as much as I care about people and justice. I am also passionate about investigative stories, documentaries, filming, OSINT, fact-checking, data journalism, and photography.
As a writer, I write mainly flash fiction and social commentaries. I also enjoy writing poetry.
