The Heart Behind the Project
Tiffany Kokkeler | Founder, The Brittney Cohn Project
-
Brittney was 26 years old when she died. She was the victim of sex trafficking. After her death, it became clear there is a severe problem in Arizona, specifically within its vulnerable populations. Brittney had been failed and reduced to a label by every system designed to protect her.
From the moment Tiffany received the voicemail from the medical examiner's office, she knew something wasn't right. It wasn't until she started digging that she realized the massive gap between what was officially reported and what really happened. Stories like Brittney’s do not make the 5 o'clock news. They aren't even a small article hidden on a website. They are swept under the rug and treated as disposable.
The reality is that Brittney is not unique. There are countless people fighting for the same answers, fighting to be heard, and fighting for justice. Through raw storytelling, Brittney has become the voice of those who are dismissed. The only way to create real change is to speak up and expose the reality of what is actually happening in the community. Through advocacy, awareness, and direct community outreach, Tiffany fights to ensure victims are treated with dignity, standing alongside other families searching for answers.
