Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I am Karen Hunter, and in this space, we are having tough conversations with amazing people who are doing the work.

And today I want to introduce you to an author. She is writing about black women who have

gone missing or who have been murdered or who have been raped and murdered and nobody seems to

care about them. Her first book is You're Dead. So What? This latest book, 10 years later,

no human involved. The serial murder of black women and girls

and the deadly cost of police indifference.

Let me welcome to the show.

Professor Dr. Cheryl Neely, hey.

Thank you.

I appreciate you.

Listen, I was reading your book and thinking about Octavia Spencer, Truth Be Told, her last season with Gabrielle Union followed missing black women and it got canceled.

Wow.

Then I started watching Found and on NBC, knee'm knee deep in,

again, somebody who was abducted and this whole canceled,

canceled.

And I wondered,

and I kind of knew it was going to be canceled

because I feel like while we have

51 million cop shows,

these topics

we don't want to deal with.
