I am grateful that as a reporter and as an anchor, people have allowed me to share their stories.
From Tamron Hall
I am followed in department stores. I have walked in dressed professionally or dressed in jeans, and I have walked into stores, and instantly, security is on my back.
Every time a young girl comes in and asks me for advice, if you start your conversation with, 'How hard is it as a black woman,' or, 'How hard is it as a woman,' I turn you around. Because I cannot - we cannot look at the roadblocks and see the road at the same time.
We all have these challenges and stereotypes that exist, but you can't let that hold you down... If that's the first thing you think about as a black woman - the challenge that lies ahead - you are thinking in the wrong direction, in my opinion.
I will never answer that question of what are the challenges I face. You speak it into existence, and I choose to use that air for other things.
So I have people who tweet and ask me, 'You can't be this happy all the time. You can't be this cheerful.' Well, yes I am. From where I've come from and my family and what I see as real struggles in day to day life, through my reporting. I'm never going to look at challenges.
We all have roadblocks; we all have challenges.
One of my favorite memories was one time Prince picked me up and said we were going to Michael Jordan's birthday party.
I grew a reputation for always asking questions and being nosy.
As a kid from Texas, it always amazes me when city kids don't know how to ride a bike.
