In an interview with Essence, Tamron Hall opened up about becoming the first black woman to co-anchor The Today Show. She said,
“How could I not be walking on cloud nine? Just the other day I was reading about Meredith Vieira being the first woman to host the primetime Olympic shows. Of course, I knew what was happening with my negotiations behind the scenes and I thought, wow, these big moments at NBC News and now I’m a part of this for women, for Black women, for all of us. And I’m just taken aback by it. I can’t even describe to you how it feels.”
Congratulations to Tamron! I am a fan of hers and I’ve been following her for the past 6 years. This is great that she is getting the national shine that she deserves.
