Harris’s Delta Air Lines ad was one of many high-profile gigs the young model secured during her short life and career, including her appearances in New York Fashion Week, Project Runway season 17, and the cover of Vogue Knitting Magazine. In 2019, “Unbroken: A Mother-Daughter Journey of Resilience, Faith, and Courage”, a book Stephens wrote about her and her daughter’s faith-based journey to navigating life-threatening illnesses was published, of which Harris served as a contributor.
Last week, Dr. Stephens, who has a doctorate in education, shared the heart piercing moment in an Instagram post. “Look who was ready to welcome us again, before boarding the plane to come back home, after our long getaway! Yup!,” Stephens’ caption read. “Her two ads for @delta were on our left and and on our right, embracing us, as we made our way down the corridor to board.”

Natalia Harris had been gone for nearly a year, but she was still showing up for her mother in ways she never expected. Last month, on a flight from New York City to Florida, Egli Colón Stephens stopped in the sky bridge and spent a moment with her daughter. All these signs and the message, See you soon, it brings me peace. It makes me realize we think we are here for so long and in reality it is just a breath, Stephens told TODAY. She gives me the strength. I know she is with me through the many signs.
