- Mental Health
In this episode of Make It Count, Jennifer and Phil talk with Julie Stokes about her journey through politics, surviving breast cancer, and making it count through her cancer advocacy.
Julie Stokes is CEO of Flame Consulting, CFO of Stokes & Associates, Founder of Ellevate Louisiana and Co-Founder of the Cancer Advocacy Group of Louisiana. She is a CPA, a nonpartisan policy advocate, former state representative, a civic leader, and a speaker. Julie was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, and after a nine-month battle she was declared and remains cancer-free. She turned her personal fight with cancer into a legislative mission by becoming an advocate for patients and survivors; she believes that we should never place a patient’s life in jeopardy because of bureaucracy.
Besides legislation she has helped to pass, Julie is Making It Count through the Founding of Ellevate Louisiana, which is an organization of women leaders around the state of Louisiana working together to make non-partisan solutions to build a better future for Louisiana.

Julie is also the founder of SCAN (Survivor’s Cancer Action Network). SCAN is a private social network that unites cancer survivors, doctors, scientists and philanthropists to improve the patient experience and ultimately drive outcomes for cancer care in the state of Louisiana.
