Jacque Reid goes “Inside Her Story” with Derrica and Natalie Wilson, the founders of the Black & Missing Foundation, to get the facts on the reported 64,000 missing Black women in the United States.

According to Derrica, the numbers are “accurate” and are based on data provided by the FBI. However, the duo does want the public to be aware that the data does not “factor in those who were located or those who left voluntarily.” Adding, “But we’re stilling seeing a spike in the number of women reported missing because of sex trafficking.”
