According to her profile in The New York Times, 35-year-old Bailey grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and was sent to a private Catholic school before heading south to Georgia for university. After graduating she reportedly planned to return home, 'marry a lacrosse player' and raise children to go to the same school as she did. In other words, she certainly didn't envisage the life she has now.
Her mother (sort of) chose her career

So what changed? According to The New York Times, it was her mother, Patti Caudill, who helped set her on a completely different path. Caudill decided to take part in – and won – a charity auction offering an internship at a major New York PR firm called PMK-BNC.

How entrepreneur and social media star Simon Squibb is helping people achieve their dreams
With 17 million followers and over 500 million monthly views across his social media platforms, Simon Squibb has built an audience most influencers can only dream of. He has become one of the world's most influential voices in the realm of entrepreneurship, largely down to his approach – which is far from boring or didactic. His viral short videos – one has an accumulated watch time of 23 years – follow a similar formula. Squibb walks up to strangers, asks about their dreams and then offers business advice and sometimes even investment. The format has struck a chord with younger generations. But unlike most full-time influencers, Squibb is not motivated by money or fame. Simon Squibb has become known for his videos in which he asks people on the street about their dreams and offers business advice. Photo: Instagram/simonsquibb Not only did he achieve financial freedom and retire with his wife a decade ago, but he also finds fame more burdensome than enjoyable. 'Being famous is not a good idea – but if you have a purpose, the influence is totally worth it. I love the influence. I hate the fame,' Squibb says over coffee at Hong Kong's IFC Mall.

Half a million young Catholics invade Rome, awaiting Pope Leo at Holy Year youth festival
Hundreds of thousands of young Catholics poured into a vast field on Rome's outskirts on Saturday for the weekend highlight of the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year: an evening vigil, outdoor slumber party and morning Mass celebrated by Pope Leo that marks his first big encounter with the next generation of Catholics. Advertisement Misting trucks and water cannons spritzed the young people to try to keep them cool as temperatures neared 30 degrees Celsius (85 degrees Fahrenheit) with hours to go before Leo arrived for the vigil. But the mood was festive, with young people dancing to a line-up of a dozen different bands or lying on their tarpaulins where they had set up camp for the night. 'It is something spiritual, that you can experience only every 25 years,' said Francisco Michel, a pilgrim from Mexico. 'As a young person, having the chance to live this meting with the pope I feel it is a spiritual growth.' For the past week, these bands of young Catholics from around the world have poured into Rome for their special Jubilee celebration, in this Holy Year in which 32 million people are expected to descend on the Vatican to take part in a centuries-old pilgrimage to the seat of Catholicism. The young people have been traipsing down cobblestone streets in colour-coordinated T-shirts, praying the Rosary and singing hymns with guitars, bongo drums and tambourines shimmying alongside. Advertisement Using their flags as tarpaulins to shield them from the sun, they have taken over entire piazzas for Christian rock concerts and inspirational talks, and stood for hours at the Circus Maximus to confess their sins to 1,000 priests offering the sacrament in a dozen different languages.

Taiwanese singer Anpu cancels Hong Kong concert, organiser cites ‘irresistible force'
Taiwanese singer Anpu has cancelled her concert in Hong Kong next month, with the organiser citing 'irresistible force.' The concert was scheduled to be held on August 23 at AsiaWorld Arena, near Hong Kong International Airport. 'Due to the irresistible force of the organiser's situation, there is no way for the concert to go ahead as planned,' concert organiser CCY Entertainment said in a statement on Tuesday. It did not elaborate on what 'irresistible force' was. The Taiwanese singer, whose full name is Chiao Anpu, publicly supported Taiwan's Sunflower Movement in 2014 and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement in the same year. However, she came under fire from fans last year after her management company posted her handwritten message celebrating China's National Day on October 1 on Weibo. 'Irresistible force' In the comments section of the organiser's Instagram post, some concertgoers asked what 'irresistible force' meant, while others complained that they had already booked hotels or that the handling fee was non-refundable. According to the organiser, ticket vendors KKTIX, and Damai, which primarily serve the mainland Chinese market, will arrange refunds without customers needing to apply. However, handling fees will be non-refundable. This is not the first time a performance or an art event has been cancelled in Hong Kong without a clear explanation. Hong Kong singer Pong Nan's concert in January was axed due to a venue cancellation by the city's art hub. Pong, who is openly gay, is known for his support of the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement. The House of Hong Kong Literature, a non-profit that promotes the city's literary scene, said on July 21 that it was forced to call off a book fair, citing 'factors beyond our control.' A fundraising concert organised by the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) moved online, after the live performance was axed due to what the press group described as 'an irresistible force.'
