Before becoming an actor, Harris owned and operated an all-female barbershop, Ninth Chapter Barbershop, catering to the LGBT community in the
Fairfax District in
West Hollywood. After running the shop for six years, the storefront closed in 2019 following a freak accident. In 2020, following the onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic, Harris decided to pursue acting full-time. Harris' first role was in 2017 in the series
Two Sentence Horror Stories, and she did commercial work as well while working part-time and running the barbershop. In 2022, she made her feature film debut in
Tell It Like a Woman. In 2023, Harris starred as Bernie, the love interest of
Nabiyah Be's character Simone Jackson, in
Daisy Jones & the Six. She is due to star in
Code 3, helmed by
Christopher Leone, and also appears in the
Netflix comedy-drama series
Glamorous. In 2025, Harris was cast in
The Pitt as night shift physician Dr. Parker Ellis. On 2 April 2026, it was announced that she will return for the show's third season upgraded to
series regular. == Personal life ==
