Bailey is an Indigenous actor, singer, and movement artist. She is proudly Choctaw and an enrolled tribal member of Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Based in New York City for nearly 10 years, the pandemic flung Bailey into a vagabond life that included exploring the desert in a built-out van and making theatre on the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, North Carolina. She just completed a year and a half of touring the country with the Peter Pan National Tour as Tiger Lily.
Bailey grew up in Oklahoma before moving to the suburbs of Dallas, Texas in her adolescence.
