Before landing her big break, Bailey was in a couple of DC Universe-inspired projects. In 2015, she played the role of Caroline in the detective series "Constantine," based on the DC character of the same name. Though it was a small part, the role was an impressive start to her resume, especially considering she was only 16 at the time.
Then, in 2018, Bailey returned to the DCEU in a series called "Black Lightning," also based on the character of the same name. She played Wendy Hernandez, a powerful metahuman with aerokinesis — the power to control wind. Bailey spoke to Seventeen about her role as Wendy, saying "Black Lightning was the first recurring role I ever had. Coming back to a set really gives you the opportunity to get to know everyone more. I had time to build relationships with people and ask what their jobs were on set. I got to learn more about all of the moving parts behind the camera."
Bailey was in six episodes of "Black Lightning," which helped her gain further recognition in the industry. However, she appeared in several other projects before she landed her big break.
