Black, Brown, & Unsolved
Soft voice, Hard Truth.💔
Black, Brown, & Unsolved is a true crime podcast that centers the stories of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people who’ve gone missing or been murdered—and never got the attention they deserved.
Hosted by Amberly, this isn’t just storytelling. It’s real work.
She speaks with families, sits down with law enforcement, reviews 911 calls, police records, and autopsy reports. She breaks down timelines, exposes inconsistencies, and asks the hard questions when no one else will.
Every episode is about more than what happened—it’s about who it happened to, why it was ignored, and what still needs to be done.
Because these cases aren’t cold. They’ve just been buried.
And someone out there still knows something.

On The 2nd Day of Christmas: A Deadly Thank You… Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson
🎄 Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas: Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson
A simple, everyday interaction should never end in violence.
In this episode of Black, Brown, & Unsolved, we examine the killing of 41-year-old Cecilia “CiCi” Simpson, who was shot and killed outside a Dallas PetSmart following an argument that began earlier that day over a door being held open.
What started as a minor exchange escalated into confrontation, pursuit, and ultimately, a fatal shooting… raising difficult questions about escalation, emotional regulation, mental health, bystander hesitation, and how quickly everyday moments can turn deadly.
This episode also addresses victim-blaming, the dangers of demanding respect from strangers, and why walking away can save lives.
This is Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas… daily stories that don’t always fit neatly into headlines, but deserve to be heard.
