Hands Off My Podcast: True Crime

Summary
This is part 2 of a four-part series will explore the issue of missing and murdered black women and girls, which has been ignored for too long. Part one was dropped on August 10th. If you haven’t listened to this first part, please do so and come back to this episode when finished. I discuss the stories of these women/girls of color when this became a social issue, how to change the statistics, and what organizations are helping.

In this episode, we will discuss the lives of Tahany Abdi-Orman Erbob, Antoinette Dana Hawkins, Stephanie Leann Smith. and Elle Ragin.
