Emmy Award-winning Journalist Tamron Hall to Be Honored at 2025 Annual NAMIC Conference
Named in honor of the late Congressman Mickey Leland who was a strong advocate for social justice and equality, the Mickey Leland Humanitarian Achievement Award recognizes individuals and companies in the media, entertainment, and communications industries for their philanthropic work and commitment to advancing the concerns of people of color.
“We are delighted to bestow NAMIC’s highest honor to Tamron Hall,” said NAMIC’s Chief of Strategy and Programs, Anne-Marie Burton. “Her extraordinary philanthropic efforts in social justice and equality —especially her commitment to empowering underserved communities through access to critical resources and opportunities — reflect the very spirit of Congressman Leland’s enduring legacy.”
Hall is an outspoken advocate for domestic abuse. She has partnered with Safe Horizon to launch The Tamron ❤ Renate Fund in honor of her late sister to help victims and families affected by domestic violence. She is also a strong advocate for homelessness and literacy.
Currently, Hall is executive producer and host of “Tamron Hall”— the second longest-running Disney-produced syndicated talk show and one of television’s highest-rated daytime shows — where she interviews, among others, changemakers and individuals making who are a difference in their communities.
Hall’s extensive resume also includes hosting “Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall” on Investigation Discovery, “TODAY,” and “MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall.” She received the 2015 Edward R. Murrow Award for her segment on domestic violence as part of “TODAY’s Shine A Light” series.
Hall is also a published author, beginning in 2021 with the debut of her first crime-fiction novel, “As The Wicked Watch,” followed by “Watch Where They Hide.” She debuted “A Confident Cook: Recipes for Joyous, No-Pressure, Fun in the Kitchen” in memory of her late father who was the cook in the family. In March 2025, she published her first children’s book, “Harlem Honey,” which became an instant New York Times bestseller.
The Annual Awards Luncheon is sponsored by Charter Communications.
