Tamron Hall on Being Her Own ‘Backup Plan,’ New Book, More

Tamron Hall’s Unexpected departure from Today The show in 2017 surprised fans – and even surprised Hall herself.

While speaking exclusively to US Weekly On Monday, March 17, Hall admitted that there were nerves for leaving the popular day show when she left. “People came to see me and said,” You are so courageous, “she said. “And I thought:” I am a 45 year old woman. It was the first time that I had been unemployed.

Hall added that she did not feel particularly courageous and did not know what she would do next. But then, a quote came to my mind: “Give yourself a party of pity and you rise.” Hall did that exactly.

“I had to continue to remember that I am my backup plan,” she said. “My parents had no gold bars in the courtyard.

Hall has chosen not to renew his contract with Today After the show gave him his place to Megyn Kelly. A year later, she found a new house in ABC and her eponymous talk show was launched in August 2019.

However, her recent success does not mean that Hall forgot the lessons she learned. “I think none of us wants to be struck off,” she said, “in particular women on a certain age. And I think that at the time when I was able to seek my next chapter. »»

This next chapter also includes the release of his new children’s book, Harlem Honey: The adventures of a curious child. While Hall admitted that she “had no great reaction” to the departure of Today host HODA KOTB In January, “because I had disappeared for a long time”, she added that she related to the “desire to find your joy” of Kotb, which is a large part of the reason why she wrote her book.

“We deserve it in our children,” added Hall. “I wanted my son to introduce himself to things or concerned about” this play is so tall “, how can I find his joy?

Harlem Honey is described as “a comforting story” which “mixes the family, the community and the discovery of the house”.
