Finding Tamika

Audible

“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.”

I was the sound designer for this immersive and high impact project. Working with the Molten Heart team, I collaborated with the composer Chad Kouri and executive producer Jazmine Green to create an approach that valued and respected Tamika Huston’s life through the storytelling and sound world.
