About this listen

Finding Tamika was a 2023 duPont-Columbia award winner for excellence in journalism.

Black girls and women disappear every day, but not without a trace. Join actress and activist Erika Alexander in a neo-noir, true crime drama as she searches for Tamika Huston, a 24-year-old Black woman from Spartanburg, SC who went missing in 2004. Her case became a rallying cry for other missing Black women in America and led to a growing demand to expose a system that ignores missing girls and women of color.

Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH productions present their debut Audible Original Finding Tamika. In it, host Erika Alexander summons a new generation to help raise the dead, expose a hidden past, and give a dark warning for our future. In Finding Tamika, what we’ll actually discover is the awful truth that a Black girl does not have to go missing for us not to see her. No matter the cost, though, we must look for Tamika, because until she is found, we are all lost.

A heartbreaking true crime series. My only “gripe” if you will is in what I would call over-production. Most episodes have this noir-ish soundtrack that I found a bit extra.

I really appreciated the story telling style and original presentation. I was not familiar with the case but felt it was very well told and gave alternative perspectives. I especially liked that the supernatural elements were not too out there and corny. A really sad story my heart goes out to the family left behind, thanks for sharing your story and helping to raise awareness around the disparities and plight of missing POC ❤️

This is a first time I've listened to an audiobook. So I wasn't sure what to expect. I made the mistake of reading the two reviews on the Audiable UK before going in. They had me wondering if this was just an oversight instead of focusing on the subject matter. The "buzzing" was a production choice. The effect was put there to create a sense of disorientation. For the listener to feel discomfort was part of the point. Talking about production the audio book had a lot of interesting and incredible choices. The use of sound effects, music, and the narrators voice did well to carry me throughout a the multitude of difficult topics wrapped in this real life story. The pain this story brought about was difficult to absorb as it spanned years and the history of Tamika and her family.

It gave me a lot to think about by the time I finished. This isn't just a story about a woman who went missing. It was about the systems in place that failed her. The society that shaped these events to take place. How one loss can effect many others if we never address the pain we go through. It was a tragic story which was made more "real" to I as a person far removed geographically from Tamika and her family.

Please give this a chance if you want to understand the issues surrounding Black people within the US and UK. That's what hit me the most. This isn't just an issue in the US these systems that fail to help Black people exist here too. Remember the case of Richard Okorogheye that happened in April 2021? His mum had to fight for the police to even look for him. It took national media attention for the local police to try.

Heart breaking story! May Tamika rest in eternal peace. Tamika has shined light on the topic of missing black girls/women, so sad to hear how overlooked black women have been in missing person cases🤍

I lived in Duncan, SC at the time this happened. I worked in Spartanburg and I can honestly say I do not remember this happening. I don't recall anyone discussing it or gossiping about it where I worked (a large retail chain). And this brings out one of the points that black girls are sadly "invisable" amd treated inequal in the eyes of the media and law. The performance of the narration was hard to listen to because of the noir style of it and overly annoying and distracting music.
