Transforming Tragedy into Advocacy
Stel Bailey is a globally recognized advocate dedicated to combating cancer and advancing environmental health policies. As a military spouse for over a decade, she passionately supports veterans and raises awareness about the urgent issue of rising suicide rates among those who have served.
Her journey began at fifteen when she pursued a career in creative direction. However, a personal tragedy in 2013—her family's battle with cancer—prompted her to investigate alarming water contamination in her hometown. This fueled her commitment to advocating for clean water and public health, resulting in major reforms, establishing drinking water standards for PFAS chemicals, and protecting military families exposed to toxins.
Through various multimedia platforms, Stel empowers individuals to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system and mobilizes communities toward positive change. Her tireless efforts continue to inspire and uplift, making a profound impact on countless lives.
