Dee Bailey : A people’s person from Luton, England
Dee Bailey, a Young Mom of 56 yrs old with 2 sons and 3 grandchildren lives in Luton. Luton is a large town, borough, and unitary authority situated in Bedfordshire, southeast England
She works full time and also runs her own business called Simply Deez Events CIC, which she started in 2014 a couple of months after my dad died. She realised that if she wants to see a change, she needs to be a part of the change. Instead of sitting back and complaining about what should be done “do the walk, not just the talk”. From then she started a radio show called Realtalk with Simply Deez at Pamtengo radio station. She also started a bi-monthly ladies soiree where we would meet and share and network.
Dee is a people person and wants to help, inspire, motivate people and make a difference in people’s lives.
Dee has done events for international woman’s day, international men’s day, all events raising funds for various charities.
During the pandemic, she published a book on “Life in a Lockdown 2020: behind Closed Doors” on 11th July 2020.
Around the end of last year, a new venture supporting small businesses was started Community Hub & Collaborative Store in Luton, Bedfordshire in the UK.
Simply Deez Events partnered with Bedfordshire & Luton Recovery College where there were speakers across her community who shared their learning, experiences, and knowledge. This was intended to be a 6-week project but due to popular demand, she has done 2 terms and will be returning in September.
Recently Dee launched ‘The Simply 2Gether Show’ which is a magazine-style show on Facebook that runs every Tuesday 12:00-12:30 pm. Conversation, upliftment, and debates.
She is a Social butterfly
“I am a social butterfly who loves spending time with family and friends; Exploring the world, going to the theatre, out for meals but also just chilling out watching Netflix and a glass of Ginger wine. I love dancing and singing. (don’t share with my friends ha, ha). Favourite food – Thai & Indian. Inspiration my mother and Maya Angelou,” says Dee
Who knows what the future will hold; another book, a play, or even a film?!
“ I’m always thinking up new ideas. I have found my vocation and loving life! If not now, then when, tomorrow is not promised to any of us”….says Dee.
Women Shine, wishes Dee Bailey all the best for her endeavours,
