Kate Bailey (02:22.038)
It's a new era for women on the Play Big path. Long may we reign. Don't forget to check the summary on this particular podcast episode. I've provided a YouTube playlist where you can learn more about dance as protest, movement as power, and reclaiming your identity. Welcome, Play Big Queens. Today we are exploring how movement is more than self-expression. It is protest, leadership,
and an act of power. This past week on social media, I posted my own personal dance protest to share how I felt about the current regime by dancing around in my sports bra in all my joy and messy imperfect glory to the song American Idiot by Green Day. Facebook and TikTok said it violated community guidelines, but I was able to post it to Instagram as a real. I was enraged that Elon Musk during a speech celebrating the inauguration of Trump put his right hand over his heart
and then thrusted the same arm out into the air straight ahead of him in a Nazi salute. Confidant of Musk then said, Elon has autism and he was expressing his feelings by saying, I want to give my heart to you. This comment dismisses historical context, uses autism as an excuse, misrepresents autistic expression, characterizing it as a condition that
causes inappropriate actions and reinforces harmful stereotypes that has the potential to create a backlash on the autism community that can cause harm and make social acceptance even more difficult. Since I walk my own talk, I used my own embodiment tools and my own body language for processing and as a personal reclamation and protest. I created a video with a modified version of the salute where I put my hand over my heart and then I extend a
Big Fuck You and Middle Finger to Elon and the whole lot of American idiot patriarchal fascists who are getting more publicly expressive lately. During these times when the current political regime in the US is working to dismantle DEI, Kate Bailey, LLC, the Play Big Queen podcast, and me, Kate Bailey, the human being, feels it is absolutely necessary to share inspiration,
Kate Bailey (04:34.742)
information and education when history is actively being erased in DEI communities and to specifically share that I will always value and advocate for DEIA, that I will always recognize more than two genders here and the true history of America. I've shared in my content before that breaking from traditional ableist systems to build your own values-driven business as an entrepreneur
or to bring values to your place of business as a professional or leader is inherently political. This is because the underlying desire for most people who pursue these paths is sovereignty, freedom, and liberation. You want to liberate yourself from oppressive ways of learning, working, and living. You don't want a boss. You want to be the boss, be your own boss, or get rid of the idea of a boss altogether. Taking the path less traveled.
is simultaneously an act of defiance and reclamation of who you truly are. It is unavoidably political as your actions become an embodied form of protest with every move you make. And I want to make a clear distinction. Protest isn't always about shouting. Sometimes it's about moving. Sometimes it's about refusing to shrink.
And sometimes it's about honoring the rhythms that your body, your culture, and your community were meant to move in. Now I want to preface this episode with the fact that I am not an expert on cultural dances. However, I am an embodiment mentor and part of my education included studying dance and cultures within the global context. And again, as a neurodivergent, odd-EHD woman who is a former instructor and healthcare professor, the teacher in me just loves to share the wealth of education. So...
This episode is going to be packed with both inspiration and education about how dance has been a form of protest across cultures, not only as defiance against external or oppressive authority, but as a powerful embodied assertion of sovereignty. It's going to be about the parallel between protest through movement and protest through business and how stepping into your neurodivergent identity to create a values-driven business is a direct
Kate Bailey (06:52.13)
challenged a system that weren't built for you or how you work. We'll talk about how authentic leadership isn't about just what you say. It's about how you move, how you show up, and how you claim or facilitate your space. We'll learn how we can honor and respect the cultures that have used dance as a form of protest in the past or still use it today, because learning about these movements so they can inspire us comes with the responsibility of supporting them in turn.
We're gonna learn how you can create your own personal protest dance to reclaim your identity with inspiration, resources, and inclusive prompts for our Play Big Queen community of individuals with mixed physical abilities. And we're gonna go over all this in just one episode because Queen, your presence, your body, and your leadership are all declarations of power. So let's get into it. What if I told you that movement
your movement is a protest. That the way you walk into a room, the way you own your presence, the way you run your business is not just an act of self-expression, but an act of power. Today we're talking about protests not just as resistance, but as embodied leadership. Because the greatest leaders in history, the ones who shaped legacies, who commanded rooms, who built change, they understood that leadership
isn't just about words. It's about presence. It's about how you move. It's about how you move through the struggle out of the smallness and how you move when you own your sovereignty. And movement, especially for those of us who have been told to sit still, to quiet down, to make ourselves smaller, is an undeniable, unstoppable protest. I want to share eight different dances from different cultures.
that were forms of protest because we should actively work to be educated about and preserve this education, particularly in this political climate. It is by no means a shared list of every protest dance from every culture worth mentioning, but it's a start if you're new to exploring this concept of dance as a protest. Some dances you may have heard of, but you will look at in a new light, and some dance you may have never even heard of.
Kate Bailey (09:17.4)
With each protest dance I share about, I hope you go deeper into learning about and exploring them on your own. I will also share how we can glean inspiration from bearing witness to such powerful movements. Further, I'll share about how we can appreciate and honor these cultures responsibly and support them instead of accidentally or unconsciously appropriating them. I'll also share examples of
persons, groups of people, and companies focused on serving persons with mixed abilities who are using dance as a form of social change. So let's get educated. Protest dance number one, the Black Lives Matter electric slide and protest dance. This is an example of protest through joy and collective power. During the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, among grief and systemic violence, something powerful happened. People danced. The electric slide
a dance deeply rooted in black cultural joy, became a symbol of protest against oppression and a celebration of life. Protest is not just resistance, it's also the refusal to let the world strip away your joy, your connection, and your right to move freely. Now, inspiration that you can borrow from the BLM Electric Slide and protest dance and use in your leadership is joy is not a weakness, it's a declaration of your sovereignty.
in business, in movement, in leadership, pleasure and presence are power. Now, how we interact with black culture and how we honor it around the Electric Slide Dance is recognizing that the Electric Slide is a black American cultural dance that is both a celebration and an act of resilience. The best way to honor it is by supporting black led organizations, artists and educators who are preserving and celebrating black joy and liberation.
Also, it's really important to acknowledge that black cultural expression has historically been policed, stolen, and appropriated. So educate yourself and be mindful and respectful in how you choose to participate. Our protest dance number two is voguing as protest, an example of elegance, precision, and power. In 1980s New York, the black and Latinx queer communities weren't just surviving.
Kate Bailey (11:35.288)
They were creating their own spaces of wealth, influence, and belonging in underground ballrooms. Voguing wasn't just a dance, it was a protest. It was a declaration saying, I am here, I am magnificent, I am untouchable. It was a response to a world that refused them access, a culture that tried to erase them. Inspiration that you can borrow from voguing for your leadership is to know that leadership isn't about asking for space, it's about commanding it.
Are you moving like someone who owns their power or are you still waiting for permission? Now here's how you can honor LGBTQIA plus culture while experiencing voguing. Support black and Latinx trans artists and performers. Donate to ballroom organizations and events by going to sites like ballroomwecare.org.
instead of consuming ballroom culture without recognition. The next time you feel yourself empowered and cheesing out to Madonna's Vogue, remember where Vogue and ballroom really comes from and go donate to their communities. If you're not from this community, be an ally who uplifts rather than appropriates. Protest dance number three, the ghost dance movement. Protest as vision and legacy. In 1980,
the ghost dance became a prophecy of indigenous survival and restoration. Native American tribes danced as a way to reclaim their future, to declare that their existence, their sovereignty, and their culture could not be erased. The US government feared it because when people move with conviction, they become unstoppable. Inspiration that you can borrow from Native Americans for leadership is knowing that every great movement begins with belief. Every great leader
Every transformation, every legacy defining business starts with an unwavering conviction that the future can and will be different. And how we can honor indigenous culture through this dance is knowing that the ghost dance is sacred. If you are not native, do not perform it. Support indigenous led activism, businesses and land rights organizations. Educate yourself on the historical and ongoing struggles indigenous communities face and be an ally.
Kate Bailey (13:50.638)
Protest dance number four on our list you might have heard of. lawmakers performed the traditional haka as an assertion of cultural identity. Maori lawmakers performed traditional haka in New Zealand's parliament on notable occasions to protest or emphasize their cultural identity. Most recently and notably since the time of this recording back on November 14th in 2024, during the first reading of the treaty principles bill,
which was a bill that could undermine the established Maori rights. MP Hannah Rahati, my P. Clark, led a haka within the parliamentary chamber, tearing a copy of the bill during the performance. It was recorded and it went viral. Inspiration you can borrow from this viral moment. Embodiment is leadership. When you move with purpose, you command authority. The haka is not just a dance, it's an assertion of identity and the right
to exist freely. know people around the world and especially in the US were moved when they viewed this performance. So it's really important to know how to honor Maori culture. You can do this by understanding that the Hakka is sacred to the Maori culture and should not be imitated casually or for entertainment. Support Maori rights movements and indigenous led efforts for land and cultural sovereignty.
Our protest dance number five on the list is the Dance of the Zapatistas, protest as autonomy and sovereignty. The Zapatistas in Mexico have used dance not as a rebellion, but as a declaration of self-governance. Their movements are a way of saying, we do not seek permission to exist. We do not need to prove our worth. We lead ourselves. Inspiration you can borrow from the Zapatistas for leadership. Leadership is about setting the standards.
not following one. Ask yourself, how are you leading yourself? Where are you still waiting for permission to take up space? And this is particularly important for people in the US, how we can honor Mexican culture. It's important to support indigenous led movements in Mexico, particularly those advocating for land rights and economic autonomy. Educate yourself on the Zapatista movement and its impact on indigenous sovereignty.
Kate Bailey (16:11.47)
protest dance number six, the Palestinian Daki. The Daki is a Palestinian dance performed in protests, yes, but also weddings and even funerals as a reminder that to move is to declare existence. In a world that tries to erase Palestinians, their dance, their movement is proof of survival. Leadership inspiration that you can borrow from the Palestinian Daki.
Every time you show up as your full self, as a person with different abilities, you are proof you can survive ableism. It's so important to know how to honor Palestinian culture. Dabki is deeply tied to Palestinian resistance. If you are not Palestinian, approach it with respect, understanding as much as you can.
significance beyond a shallow understanding of seeing it through entertainment. And it is so critical to support Palestinian artists, businesses, and humanitarian efforts advocating for Palestinian rights. We're getting towards the end of this list. We have two more to go. Our protest dance number seven is the Dance of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, protest as unbreakable presence.
In Argentina during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, mothers of the disappeared refused to stay silent. They gathered in the Plaza de Mayo, marching, swaying, and moving in circles as a dance-like act of protest. Their bodies in motion became a demand for justice.
Again, I hope you do your own education around this because witnessing this type of body language fundamentally changes how you embody your own power in leadership. Hearing me listed off as one thing, but seeing it for yourself is totally another experience. I'll try to include as many links as I can in this podcast episode so you can actually see the different dances. But inspiration that you can borrow from Las Madres for your own leadership is that sometimes
Kate Bailey (18:22.35)
presence alone is enough to shake the system. How we can honor Argentinian culture is to learn about the mothers of Plaza de Mayo and support efforts to uncover the truth and justice for the disappeared, recognize the power of movement in activism and resistance. And our last protest dance on the list is protest dance number eight, the women's wall dance in Kerala, protest as collective power.
In 2019, over five million women in Kerala, India performed a 385 mile long human chain moving together in unity as a form of protest against gender oppression. This wasn't just activism. This was embodied leadership in numbers in motion. Inspiration that you could borrow is what happens when women move together in shared purpose. They create
change. Now how we can honor culture in India is to support women's empowerment initiatives and gender justice movements in India. Acknowledge the intersection of gender, caste, and social justice and activism. And again, do your own research. Learn about it. Even if it's not your culture, if you are a woman, just like if you have a disability, it is part of one of your identities.
It is part of one of the cultures you belong to. And even if we have different geographical cultural backgrounds, learning from other women in other cultures expands our leadership capabilities exponentially. Now, every movement we discussed here is so much more than a dance. It is a statement of presence, of survival, of defiance, and of leadership. As you step into your own embodied leadership, remember that the way you move
way you lead and the way you build your business is its own form of protest. And now I get to come to the part of the podcast where I invite you to craft your own personal protest dance to reclaim your identity. This is an exercise that we do in four steps. Number one, ask yourself, what are you reclaiming? Is it your neurodivergent identity? Is it your unique body language, your cultural roots?
Kate Bailey (20:47.958)
Is it your sensuality, your softness, your leadership itself? Is it your sexuality, your safety, your story? Have you disconnected from an important part of who you are that you need to reclaim?
Two, choose a movement that embodies it, right? Does protest for you feel like strength? If protest for you feels like strength, then stomp, ground yourself, move with force. But if your protest feels like pleasure, then let yourself sway and flow and own your own rhythm. If your personal brand of protest for what you are reclaiming at this point in time feels like
commanding attention, then stand tall, take up space, and hold your presence. Once you've explored what you're reclaiming and you've landed on a movement that feels like it embodies the reclamation for you, then we make it a practice. Then you get to use this movement before serving your people in your business. You get to use it before stepping into big decisions. You can use it just to remind yourself who the fuck you are.
And the last step in this is to own it, right? Practicing will help you own it, but sometimes it feels awkward and clunky at first, but as you do it more and more, it will naturalize and you will make it your own. This is a nuanced practice, even though you may find some kinky enjoyment in owning your rebellious size for this exercise, I wanna remind you that this is not about you rebelling against anything. It's about you embodying your authority.
Now our Play Big Queens community is a mixed ability space. We include differently abled persons that might have challenging relationships with embodiment and or dance. If you are feeling inspired by these prompts to craft your own personal protest dance to reclaim your identity, but then you listen to these prompts and as you do, you start to feel yourself come out of your power and start to shrink into your smallness because of internalized ableist beliefs about
Kate Bailey (23:02.346)
what you think your body can and can't do. I want you to pause for a moment, lean in, and listen real good to this next part. There are many examples of persons, groups of people, and companies focused on serving persons with mixed abilities who are using dance as a form of social change.
For example, there's Crip Hop Nation, which was founded by Leroy F. Moore Jr. to provide a platform for hip hop artists with disabilities to express their experiences and challenge societal norms. And while Crip Hop is primarily focused on music, the movement encompasses various forms of artistic expression, including dance,
to protest against discrimination and advocate for disability rights. There's also programs like Dancing Disability Lab at UCLA, which is a part of UCLA's Disability Studies Inclusion Lab, which offers a platform for disabled dance artists to engage in movement exploration and choreographic inquiry. The lab emphasizes dance as a catalyst for disability justice, encouraging participants to create performances that challenge ability paradigms and advocate for social change.
This incredible initiative underscores the role of dance in protesting against ableism and promoting inclusivity within the arts. There are also countless others who are dedicated to creating mixed ability dance spaces who are also dedicated to social change. So if you are grappling with small ideas and beliefs about yourself and why you think you can't do protest dance, I want to share a powerful question that Alice Shepherd from the Dancing Disability Lab.
in the Dancing Disability 2019 short documentary asked. She asked, what would disability aesthetics do to the notion of control? It would completely disrupt them. If you identify as disabled or differently abled, I want to bow down to you and your natural ability to be so fucking disruptive to the status quo and systems of control. The neurodivergent and disability communities
Kate Bailey (25:11.296)
are living, breathing, walking, talking, embodied protests in the form of individual humans. Dance has long been a powerful medium for individuals with disabilities to express themselves, challenge societal perceptions, and advocate for change, both creating a business where you are in your embodied leadership and dancing with disabilities challenges traditional values of productivity, of
urgency and what we think is urgent. It challenges traditional ideas about the importance of the process, especially in a world that values immediacy, consumption, getting to the finish line where you obtain everything, the finished product, the wealth, your dreams, instead of valuing the play big journey.
Creating a business and dancing as someone with a disability also challenges ideas about authority and who gets to have it, ideas about the importance of doing things with intention, deliberation, and presence. By choosing to craft a personal protest dance to reclaim your identity, you not only expand your own embodied leadership and your play big self, but you create an expanded sense of what's possible for others.
by including yourself in this exercise. If you are ready to explore the full embodiment of your identity, values, leadership, and business, you can DM me at PlayBigQueen on all the channels, or if you're feeling courageous, tag me in a story with the hashtag PPDPlayBigQueen. PPD for personal protest dance and PlayBigQueen for the podcast.
I would love to witness your personal protest dance because I want to see you move in your power. And also this journey happens in stages, so if you're not ready to share it on social media, I want to remind you that you don't have to do things like I do. Just because I put a dance up there does not mean you have to. This is an invitation, not an order. And so if you don't put it on social media, even if you don't record it, if you just do this dance for yourself,
Kate Bailey (27:22.86)
It's amazing how much begins to open up for you. It brings us back to the remembering that we were never meant to follow someone else's rhythm or timing. You were meant to create your own rhythm and honor your own timing. Queen, your movement is power. Your leadership is protest and activism. Your success is inevitable. Whether you skip, walk, shuffle, or roll into a room,
The next time you come on the scene, I want you to act like you were born to be here and lead, because you were. Keep leading, keep creating, and keep playing big.

I want you to know that my door is always open and I will always make space for you to be heard and to honor your experience. The views expressed in this podcast are through the lens of my personal identity and my own lived experience. I am a European mix Mediterranean mutt who is an Italian Sicilian, cis heterosexual woman born in New York, experiencing the world in a white body as a multiply neurodivergent.
who lives in a neurodiverse and racially blended family. And like everyone else, my one single perspective comes with its own limitations. have done personal and professional work around anti-racism, diversity, equity, equality, and inclusion. I am not a therapist or doctor, and any coaching or advice cannot take the place of professional medical, mental health, or healing help. However, that being said,
What happens in my work is often a very powerful additional supplemental or alternative way to heal around identity work, mindset and emotional wellness. Although I am not a licensed therapist, it is worth noting that in addition to being a mentor, I am trained and certified in emergency medicine and response. I have rendered care to over 20,000 patients in the course of my career. I have taught over 15,000 students, many of which
at learning disabilities that were undiagnosed and came from diverse cultural backgrounds. I was also a private health college adjunct professor who was responsible for training medical professionals on how to respond to trauma and behavioral emergencies. If you approach me with any concern, you will be met with professionalism, compassion, tact, understanding, support, and a readiness and a willingness to advocate for your needs. That being said, sometimes I just get it wrong.
I am a human being on my own growth journey after all. When I mess up, I'm always available for courageous and crucial conversation that makes way for growth and healing. Your experience and voice matters to me. I sincerely welcome any feedback you feel called to share. You can email your comments or concerns to info at playbigqueen.com knowing that I am open to having any and all crucial conversations needed. Okay.
Kate Bailey (33:52.076)
Remember, you are brilliant. Celebrate yourself. Value your own unique way and honor your own timing. Because you can totally create a life and business that feels good and is successful on your terms. Remember to release expectations of what you think your Play Big process should look like and be willing to do the work that needs to be done to Play Big. But most of all, when you come face to face with your boldest desires, remember to trust yourself.
and play big clean.
Kate Bailey (34:27.757)
Hi, queen. I see you're in it for the long game. If you reach this part of the podcast episode, it means you're interested in learning more about my work, my values, my mission, and my community. So let's go deeper together. I am here to activate neurodivergent women to play bigger and to show you that you are so capable of doing big things and that if you value your own unique way and honor your own timing, you will learn to receive your boldest desires and so much more.
In my world, what makes you different is valued, celebrated, honored, and welcome. I welcome all who identify as female and non-binary folk in my Play Big Queens community. We believe in and support LGBTQIA plus 2S, Black Lives Matter, women's and pro-choice rights, and obviously intersectional identities, including disabilities, neurodivergence, and religious beliefs. Personally, I am pro sex worker rights.
pro-Palestinian liberation, against Islamophobia, and against anti-Semitism, and I'm also against any cult-like religions that use beliefs as an excuse to indoctrinate people into abusive, autocratic systems. Like many neurodivergent people, we have big hearts and a strong sense of social justice around here. You are encouraged to stay and play in our Play Big Queen community if you share these values. For those who find the word queen does not resonate.
Perhaps because of imperial associations, the Play Big self archetype can take any form and the invitation and activation remains the same. To learn to embody your Play Big self, to operate from love instead of fear, to go on a Play Big journey in community because you know that no Play Big queen can truly Play Big.
alone. To decide to cultivate the courage to use your voice, unmask, reclaim, embrace, and embody your brilliance and create a life and business that works with the unique way that you work. Through this work, you will come to know the truth of your brilliance deeply. And as you come to know your authentic self, more and more will begin to open up for you. Knowing your unique brilliance will lead to great success and true belonging. In this world, we take the pressure off.
Kate Bailey (36:43.65)
and learn to step off the traditional path so you can blaze your own trail. My mission is to get you motivated, inspired, and equipped to get into massive action and go on your very own Play Big journey. My mission is to empower at least 10,000 women to fully step into their Play Big self by offering healing, transformative, inclusive, and neurodiverse affirming coaching and content.
Through innovative coaching programs, courses, and master classes, we provide the tools, support, sustainability, and community needed to help each woman embrace her unique path to confidence, success, and meaningful impact. If just 10,000 women with invisible disabilities and their allies were empowered with neurodiverse affirming and inclusive communication to express their unique brilliance, step into their authority and autonomy and lead,
the world would experience a profound shift towards inclusivity, innovation, and empathy. These women would break through societal limitations, modeling resilience, creativity, and strength of diversity. Their voices and perspectives, often shaped by unique experiences with challenges and perseverance, would redefine business leadership, inspire systemic change, and create spaces where diverse ways of thinking are not just accepted.
but celebrated. Industries and communities would become more accessible and inclusive with practices that honor varied ways of working, communicating, and achieving. This change would ripple into every area of life and society. Workplaces would become more adaptable, offering a culture of respect for individual strengths. Healthcare and education systems would improve centering accessibility and compassion in their approaches. And policies would evolve to better support
those with invisible challenges benefiting society as a whole. So many women with so much potential are shrinking in the face of their own brilliance, just sitting on the sidelines waiting for permission instead of getting in the game. The activation of the latent potential in these women, their empowerment, making them visible, would inspire others, reduce stigma around invisible disabilities and encourage everyone to lead authentically. Their successes.
Kate Bailey (39:03.352)
will light the way for countless more women to rise, creating a culture of true diversity where every person feels valued, included, and emboldened to contribute their brilliance and lead with it. If you know you are ready for more clarity, confidence, and you want to embody your PlayBig self and be supported around creating the big vision for your life and business, then send me an email at info at playbigqueen.com telling me why this work is so important for you.
and we can explore opportunities to work together and make your Play Big dreams a reality.
