Alicia Kozak

Empowered urban portrait — Alicia Kozak by 312 Elements Chicago

By Michael SchachtChicago, IL

Alicia Kozakiewicz — known publicly as Alicia Kozak — is a television personality, motivational speaker, and one of America's leading advocates for Internet safety and missing children. A survivor of the first widely publicized Internet-lured child abduction in 2002, she founded The Alicia Project at age 14 and has spent over two decades educating children and adults on online exploitation. Her advocacy is the namesake of Alicia's Law, now enacted in 12 states to fund Internet Crimes Against Children task forces. She has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, CNN, and the BBC, and is the subject of the Emmy Award-winning documentary Alicia's Story. This branding portrait by Michael Schacht — industrial brick, muted greens, quiet confidence — reflects the resilience and authority she carries into every speaking engagement, from school auditoriums to Capitol Hill.
