With VOGUE declaring her the ‘Most Fashionable Woman on Daytime Television,’ Tamron’s love of fashion remains a core element of the show with the stylish host spotlighting the hottest up-and-coming designers, sharing her favorite deals with a weekly segment called “Shop Tam Fam,” as well as the latest do-it-yourself tips, crafting trends, and cooking and baking demos.

Tamron’s 2021 debut novel, “As the Wicked Watch,” is the first installment of her critically acclaimed “Jordan Manning” mystery series.

Tamron is passionate about many causes, including domestic violence, homelessness, and literacy, and she has dedicated her time to many deserving organizations over the years. She partnered with Safe Horizon to launch The Tamron ❤ Renate Fund in honor of her sister to help victims and families affected by domestic violence, and they recognized her with their Voice of Empowerment Award in 2014. Additionally, Day One, a New York-based advocacy group for victims of domestic violence, honored Tamron by giving her the Ackerman Family Advocate Award for her efforts to raise awareness for families who have a loved one experiencing abuse. Tamron continues to shed light on topics that hit close to home, including bringing awareness to In vitro fertilization and her personal journey, which led to her becoming a first-time mom at 48.

A native of Luling, Texas, Tamron holds a Bachelor of the Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism from Temple University, where she serves on the Board of Trustees. She currently lives in New York with her husband and son.
