Model Behaviour Ft Harriet @Samharriee

On this episode of TCCO: This Can’t Come Out, we sit down with Harriette—better known as Samharrie—for a candid, wide‑ranging conversation that glides from the runway to real life. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to break into modeling, how identity gets shaped in and out of the spotlight, or why the internet can’t decide whether she looks more like Tiwa Savage or Lauryn Hill, this episode is for you.

We start with the origin story: how Harriette stepped into the modeling world, what sparked her first shoots, and the harsh realities behind the glam. She pulls back the curtain on the cut‑throat nature of the business—from casting calls and competition to keeping your mental health intact when beauty is treated like a metric. Along the way, she talks about her early school and college life, the teachers who saw potential, the friends who kept her grounded, and the moments that taught her resilience.

Then it gets personal. We dive into dating history: the highs, the heartbreaks, the green flags that make her lean in, and the red flags that send her running. It’s honest, nuanced, and surprisingly funny—proof that even in the spotlight, everyone’s just figuring it out.

Of course, we address the lookalike debate head‑on. Is Harriette giving Tiwa Savage vibes? Lauryn Hill energy? Or is she simply, unmistakably herself? We explore what it means to be compared to icons, the pressure of expectations, and the power of carving your own lane.

Family comes into focus as Harriette opens up about her parents’ split, how it shaped her worldview, and what healing looks like over time. It’s real talk about home, love, and the bonds that bend but don’t break.

Pride and identity are front and center when we talk about her roots in Sierra Leone—and why people so often guess her nationality wrong. She shares the beauty of her culture, how diaspora life has sharpened her perspective, and what it means when your face tells one story while your heart tells another.

And then: MJ talk. Harriette is a certified Michael Jackson stan. She breaks down why his music moves her, her belief that his children are biologically his, and her perspective on his skin condition and legacy. We even wade into the spirited debate—who’s better, R. Kelly or Michael Jackson?—unpacking artistry, influence, and the complicated ways we engage with music and its makers.

This episode is a vibe: two people getting to know each other, swapping stories, challenging ideas, and laughing through it all. If you’re into culture, fashion, identity, music, and real conversations that don’t duck the tough topics, tap in.
