Hello Amara, I am a fan of true crime mostly to see the justice system process, hear from families, and see justice. However, I was unaware of your podcast until a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing to hear your heart, passion, and research presents in such a way that I pray every one of our back sisters, daughters, mothers, friends cases are solved. That care, divinity and respect is given to search, investigate, and bring justice to our “cousins” they same way national attention is brought to others. We are one; we are humans, and every person who looks like me, my sisters, children, deserve to have the same level of justice. Thank you for keeping the name, life, and story alive.

Great podcast!!! Very interesting & informative. Cases that need to have exposure & attention are given both. Although very sad & heartbreaking, the way these true stories are told brings clarity & much needed attention to the cases spoken about. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. If it was not for you, I would not have known about half of these true stories. Thank you.

Exactly what the title says. The stories are great, and I actually appreciate them being a bit shorter now (according to other reviews) because it’s easy to get through a story and devote attention to it without having to pick back up at a later date, etc.
I love your voice & I love the way you get right to the point and share what happened to this beautiful women.
My only quibble are the ads. I’m not lowering my stars because I really understand getting your bag and I respect that you must make money to keep up this great work, but it is quite tedious to have a 3:00+ break in the middle of the story as WELL as at the beginning of the show. But this is life, and I get to enjoy this for free because of it, so it is what it is!
Thanks for this podcast!
