Hello listeners, I'm your host Amara, and this is Black Girl God, a true crime podcast.

On this episode of Black Girl Gone, I tell the story of Alexis Ware, who was 29 years old when she

to distinguish between fact and fiction. Now, many of you know that I'm an advocate for using

social media to bring awareness to a case, especially a missing person case. However,

we all know that social media can be a double-edged sword, because once people get involved and
