The biggest compliment I get is when someone tells me, 'You're so real.' Even if my journey isn't exactly like theirs.
From Tamron Hall
Al Roker is one of the most sensible people you'll ever meet. He's raised two daughters and a son. And I love him, in that as jovial as he is, he's a straight shooter. He's a New Yorker, as they say.
I am a gummy bear fanatic.
Someone - a man - advised me not to become a news anchor because my eyelashes were too long, and they would distract the viewers.
On career day as a young journalist, I scraped up my money and went to this big conference for young journalists, and the great feedback I got was that I would not or should not become an anchor because my eyelashes were too long and too distracting.
I quite enjoy cooking. I love cooking for my friends. It's communal, it reminds me of being with family, and it's also a form of therapy; it heals you from the inside out.
The best advice I received came late, and it's this: Don't read the comments section of any story that mentions you!
It used to upset me - now it makes me sad - to see people use patriotism and our troops as a pawn in their political argument. Because I know personally, growing up in a military family, the sacrifice that is made on a daily basis.
The troops aren't red and blue. They're not black and white. They're not male and female. They are Americans! When they put their uniforms on, they are Americans. And that's a fact.
I had braces for six years! Kids would call me 'big teeth' or 'rabbit teeth.'
