MEET OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Captain Alia Paramore

Captain Alia Paramore of the Greenville Police Department is a respected law enforcement leader, Co-Chair of the Upstate Regional Human Trafficking Task Force, and a dedicated advocate for victims of exploitation. With more than two decades of service, she has become a trusted voice throughout South Carolina in the fight against human trafficking.

Recognized for her leadership and commitment to serving others, Captain Paramore was named one of TALK Greenville's 2025 "25 Most Beautiful People." Her work continues to educate communities, support victims, and raise awareness about the realities of human trafficking.

I know that I’m called to advocate for those who have no voice, to fight for the ones who have been marginalized, cast aside and forgotten about.
