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.

Such a wonderful series.
The inequality of lost and found
Produced by Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH Productions, Finding Tamika does not miss a beat—propelled by a musical track and a real-life story filled with many moving pieces. As the series explores the family’s drama, we learn that after Tamika Huston’s Ethiopian mother separated from her husband, Tamika stayed with her loving grandmother, and then her grandmother dies. Tamika’s relationship with her boyfriend starts to deteriorate. Something starts to chip away at her soul; Tamika speaks often of dying young—and then she goes missing. Actor and activist Erika Alexander guides the series with great passion. She is clearly invested in the fact there are too many missing Black women and too many people who don’t care. I’ve been to Spartanburg, SC, to visit my cousins, and it was always literally fun and games. Finding Tamika gives voice to a darker part of Spartanburg, while suggesting a blueprint for families of missing Black and brown women everywhere: make so much noise that the media can’t ignore you, and don’t stop looking.
