began her career with Bethel Harambee Historical Services as a call from God. She left the corporate world to work closely with her brother, the Reverend Edward M. Bailey, and the congregation of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, to preserve and
tell the stories of those Africans who have been discounted and left out of traditional American history and to restore and rebuild a community of promise.

spiritual Underground Railroad reenactment. She is also one of the reenactors. Her ministry is to sing the song of an awesome God, who continues to deliver His people.

enslaved Africans to safety.
