Career

[edit]

Bailey originally wanted to be a singer, but transitioned to acting and modeling at age 15 after suffering stage fright while singing in front of people.[2] She began her professional acting career in 2015,[citation needed] appearing in TV series Mr. Mercedes and Constantine. In 2018, she was cast as Wendy Hernandez, a teenage metahuman with the ability to control and manipulate the air, in the CW science fiction TV series Black Lightning, a role she played for two seasons.

Since 2020, she has portrayed Kiara "Kie" Carrera on the Netflix mystery drama Outer Banks.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Bailey was born in Kernersville, North Carolina and was raised in Kernersville by adoptive parents. She has six older siblings, five of whom were also adopted through foster care.[4] She is mixed-race and black and has openly spoken about growing up in a predominantly white household and community.[4][5][6] Her mother died in 2018; she and two of her sisters have a tattoo in her memory.[7][4][8] Bailey attended East Forsyth High School in Kernersville.[9]

Bailey was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when she was 18.[10][11]

Bailey came out as pansexual in 2017, though this information became more well known in 2020 when she publicized her relationship with basketball player Mariah Linney.[4][6][12]
