Rebkah Howard (she/her/hers)

Board Chair
Black and Missing Foundation
Miami, Florida, United States

Rebkah Howard is a publicist who thrives in crisis communications and is a non-practicing attorney. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maryland at College Park, where she majored in Radio, Television, and Film, before going on to earn her Juris Doctorate from Howard University School of Law. She joined the Board of Directors of the Black & Missing Foundation to continue her advocacy for missing persons of color in memory of her niece, Tamika Huston, who tragically disappeared from Spartanburg, SC, in May 2004. Frustrated by the lack of national media coverage she was able to secure for her niece at the time of her disappearance, Rebkah used her unique skill set to draw attention to Missing White Woman Syndrome—the disparity in media attention received by Black women compared to their white counterparts. Rebkah is also a co-producer of "Finding Tamika," an original audio series for Amazon Audible. Although she still considers Washington, DC, home, she resides in Miami, Florida.
