I'm getting people to see me for me, not Samantha Harris, the Model
Manage episode 354411937 series 2928586
Samantha Harris is one of Australia’s most successful models. She started her modelling career when she was only 13 years of age and has both led and witnessed the changing portrait of Australia's fashion industry, becoming a trailblazer in representation of First Nations people appearing on the front of iconic magazines, catwalks, and editorial campaigns alike.
She has had an illustrious career and as the second Indigenous model to ever grace the cover of Vogue, she is one of the leading pioneers in pushing for more diversity in the industry.
But it’s her work off the catwalk that has been her most impressive to date. She has used her platform to advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls, was announced as a Goodwill Ambassador for World Vision Australia, helping vulnerable women and girls across the globe.
Is a proud Dunghutti woman, wears her cultural identity proudly and somebody we are truly honoured to have on the show.
Be sure to listen in as we hear about Samantha's journey, her rise to fame in the fashion industry from such an early age to being the age she is now having grown into herself and getting people to see Samantha for herself, and not just 'Samantha Harris' the model.
