Anti-domestic violence campaign


In 2004, Hall's sister Renate was murdered following bouts of domestic violence. Although police officers initially informed Hall's family of their certainty regarding her attacker's identity, that person was not charged and the case remains unsolved. During an interview at the Television Critics Association in January 2014, Hall described receiving the phone call that her sister had been found dead, noting that, in hindsight, there had been many signs of domestic abuse, but that she had done nothing to intervene, and partly blames herself for the death of her sister.
Hall credited her personal experience with domestic violence for the drive to host Deadline: Crime. In a blog post published by Hall for Today, she wrote about the struggles of talking about her sister and her unsolved murder. Initially, she was afraid to speak out because she thought she "would be seen as exploiting the problem". She did not decide to take action until years later.
In 2014, Today launched the "Shine A Light" campaign, where the show's anchors each picked a cause to support throughout that year. Hall chose to fight against domestic abuse, with the goal to create a PSA for schools and camps that would spread awareness of emotionally and physically abusive teenage relationships. Hall's fundraising efforts raised over $40,000 and benefited Day One New York, which helps to fight dating abuse.




Personal life


In 2017, Hall began dating music executive Steven Greener. In early 2019, the couple married and currently live in Harlem. On April 25, 2019, Hall announced that she had given birth to a son.
Hall is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
