    Great Message
    I love the concept of getting underreported and undervalued crimes especially against Black women and girls but my god the ads are overwhelming. If we have a 30 minute episode at least 15 minutes are straight ads. I’m all about getting money but this feels wrong and it’s driving people away. I only stay because these victims deserve to hear their stories told.

    Love the podcast
    I love your work and what you do bringing life to black women that have been silenced forever. The point of this review is to give you all your flowers and praise. One thing that is a struggle for me is sometimes it’s so hard to hear you. My phone volume is all the way up, and when you are explaining a story, it’s hard to hear what you’re saying. Thanks for being you and sharing your gift.

    Omg the ads !!
    Love the show but the ads are sooooooooo long. I stopped listening for a few months because of it. I don’t mind ads but there’s so many and they’re so long I just turn the whole show off. Get your coins tho Amara girl 💕

    Loyal Listener
    I just wanted to congratulate you Amara on your involvement with this much needed podcast and the documentary series that aired on Hulu. My prayers is not only that all missing persons are found, but all should get the same attention and are found.

    Proud of you!
    It was so great to hear your voice and see your face on Murder Has Two Faces. Thank you for your passion and love in sharing the stories of the missing black women and bringing awareness. You are creating dialogues! I love it ❤️

    Best black true crime podcast
    Love this podcast but not a fan of the episodes with the husband. He throws off her flow! No disrespect.

    As a white women I know that the “missing white women syndrome” very much exists and it’s not fair and not right. Every persons life matters. So often women of color get little to none exposure. I appreciate your podcast so very much. As a person who has been interested in true crime for almost 10 years now I have heard never even heard of most of the cases that you cover. Your heart and passion to bringing attention to those forgotten gives me hope for change and that more women’s lives will be made important, not based on anything but an individual human being period. I also love how you humanize the victim so much true crime coverage is more about ratings, numbers and money. Keep it up you rock and I pray for these women and their loved ones.

    Late, But Right on Time
    I know the podcast has been around for a few years, but I am a new listener. I saw the podcast pop up from time to time, but was initially hesitant to listen. One because, true crime isn’t my typical genre, and also because I knew the stories would be heavy. I am so happy that I finally pressed play a few months ago. I started from the beginning, and I’m so impressed by how Amara delivers each story. One thing that pushes me away from true crime, is the consumption of real acts of violence against people as entertainment. Amara does a beautiful job of humanizing each victim, giving as much information as she can about who these girls were, and sharing insight into the struggles for justice in many of the cases. It feels like she’s talking to you at a coffee shop over a warm drink, which eases the heaviness of the stories. I am appreciative of her work to give voices to the voiceless, making the seemingly invisible seen, and for the time, effort and sacrifices it takes her to make this all possible. Black girl deserve this attention, and I’m SO glad this podcast exists.

    Too many commercials

  • ardent-armadilla
    Great podcast
    I’ve been listening to your podcast for a year and really enjoying the episodes, and the black history. Today’s story about the lynching’s were so heartbreaking. I really don’t know what happens to white people that makes them so violent! Thank you for telling these stories, history is so important!

    True crime
    I love true crime podcasts. They help me sleep at night and just fun to hear on general. The host is very good; her soothing, calm voice never fails at relaxing me. It also is very good at shining a spotlight of African Americans who’s cases go unproved by most. Thanks for all you do, host!!
  • JenBarn22

    Love your soothing voice and bringing attention to the many cases of African American women that are overlooked.

    Compassionate Storytelling
    Amara does a an amazing job telling the stories of these women and bringing awareness to these cases. Sometimes I feel like I am listening to a novel when I play this podcast because of the eloquent, thought writing and Amara’s voice that is perfect for narration.
  • Tajannah
    Great podcast!
    I like the story telling and conversational style Amara uses. There's no weird music or sound effects. Just her great voice. She's compassionate and thorough when reporting on difficult and tragic cases.
  • Sassafras9
    Great podcast but…..
    I love this podcast but the host needs to remember not to let her voice “disappear” as she ends her sentences. Otherwise, this is truly a great one. I look forward to each week’s episode.
  • tallonebrownme
    Intrigued
    Great show I love what you are doing here and the importance of missing women and murdered people Of color I am now bingeing all your podcasts and trust me it gets me through my 10 hour shift at work , keep up the good work you have started something amazing here
  • moodie2010
    I like the podcast BUT
    I do like the podcast like I really do. It’s just something is off. I’m not sure if she needs to broaden her vocabulary or something, but the way she’s always repeating the same words is off putting. I hope this doesn’t sound mean.
  • Blackgurl Crime Junkie
    Black Girl Crime Junkie
    I love the fact that this podcast shines light on cases of black girls and women that may not get national media coverage. And black girls go missing and killed every day
  • Lovelys momma
    We needed this
    I’ve delved into a plethora of podcast centered around missing Black girls, but none have resonated with me quite like Black girl gone . What sets this podcast apart is the absence of personal opinions on the victims, no unnecessary gossip, and thorough research into each case . This podcast is not just important, it’s essential on shedding light on the fact that the disappearance and murder of Black women and children is a matter of public safety. Amara is doing a fantastic job, and I’m grateful for her efforts .
  • anjiegrhm
    Just the facts
    I appreciate that you separate your thoughts from the facts of the case. When you tell the stories of these women and girls you give the facts as they can be found or have been released. Then you and your husband do the recap where you insert your opinions and thoughts. I really appreciate that. I also REALLY appreciate that your focus is on people of color. Often our stories are overlooked because well …… America. Most of these stories I’m learning about here on your show. You’re doing an amazing service please keep up the good work.
  • Marilyn558
    Very important
    Finally someone exposing the women of color that are over looked, when the white, blonde, blue eyed, rich women stay in the spotlight for years. Great work!

    Just seen Amara on Tamron Hall! Awareness that been need!
  • maribonn
    Highly Recommended
    Amara is such a great story teller. With each episode you can tell she has spent time researching is very intentional about the story she crafts. Her voice is soothing, even while telling often horrific stories. She is very thoughtful and tactful in her delivery, every time. Currently binge listening.
  • nickname_9001
    Really want to like
    I want to like and support this podcast because of its cause, but the research is subpar. For example, in the Bernita White episode, the host states that she was shot from more than 100 feet away when it was 100 yards away… she also missed other details in the case. Please try to improve your research as this podcast has potential.
  • pinkislove
    Great Crime Podcast!
    I am a true crime junkie … I love her podcasts and cases she covers! I am always intrigued when I find cases on some of the ID channel shows. And I know if I ever go missing or something happens I would want my story to be told by Amara!
  • Ahsongbird127
    A heart that hurts, has hope for our black girls gone
    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.
  • Trice2019
    Thank you
    Omg! I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I really appreciate you on covering these stories on black women. Some stories I’ve heard of and others I haven’t. I really really appreciate you!!

    10/10
    FANTASTIC SHOW!! Extremely well done.
  • BossBellaX
    Very interesting & informative
    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.
  • MCD525
    So many ads but wonderful storytelling.
    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!
  • Sabrinaaaaaaaaaaaaas
    Love the podcast miss afterthoughts
    I have been listening to this podcast for about 6 months and I have heard them all. My favorite part was the afterthoughts because it allowed for a level of discussion after the information dump of the case. I hope it comes back but either way, I support y’all!
  • txgrinch
    Thank you
    This is a great podcast
  • LeeAnnFZ
    Great Podcast!
    Thank you for lending your time and beautiful voice to these victims.
  • BGTC Fan
    Long time fan
    This true crime show remains one of the few that sticks to the facts & remains fair & balance. Yet it’s still so interesting. Love listening to the cases that get highlighted, the tone of the author. One of my must listens for year
  • Sheed@103
    Sheezy
    I love this podcast i just started watching this in probably April and all these stories are just sad and horrific Thanks for shining light on these cases it really pisses me off when some cases are just unsolved or the police are not taking it serious. And most of these stories are about teenage girls and a kid it just upsets me because a kid doesn’t deserve to get killed epescially alianna defreeze she was just a innocent kid
  • MelaninMonr0e
    Once good now just meh
    The episodes are getting SHORTER and the ads are getting LONGER! (45 mins to 30mins). Also, there seems to be lack of actual work done to search the cases and seemingly only relying on published material i.e. true crime episodes. If the time and passion isn’t going to be consistent it’s best to just call it. It does a disservice to the women and girls, honestly.
