Chatter that Matters

An unexpected surprise - Bailey Gee


Listen Later

Some episodes entertain. Some inspire. And some remind us what it means to be human.

This is one of those episodes.

Bailey Gee was born with the most severe form of spina bifida. Her life became a cycle of surgeries, pain, bullying, isolation, a wheelchair, and battles with mental health that often left her wondering if life was worth fighting for. Every day she prayed to be happy.

Then one day, happiness found her.

A random YouTube search introduced Bailey to Cesar De La Rosa, whose music and stage presence became an unexpected light during one of the darkest periods of her life. What started as fandom became friendship, healing, and hope.

In this deeply emotional episode, Bailey shares her journey through disability, loneliness, and resilience. Cesar reflects on the responsibility artists carry when their work touches lives in ways they never imagined. The conversation also features Paralympian Joel Dembe, who challenges us to rethink disability, accessibility, and what it truly means to be seen.

And thanks to RBC Avion, Cesar will meet Bailey for the first time. This is a story about pain, music, humanity, and the unexpected angels who help us find the light.
