Tami Roman’s ‘Transformation’ Continues and Fans Applaud

Tami Roman has a new attitude.

Months after announcing she’s going to focus on the positive and leave the negativity behind, Roman has proved she’s making sure she does just that.

The “Basketball Wives” star on Friday uploaded a photo set to her Instagram page and wrote in the caption, “Meet me where I’m at, not where I used to be…”

Fans applauded her message and her look, which has become a massive hit with fans as of late.

“What a transformation!! You are awesome!”

“Absolutely stunning!”

“Yup! Everything in life is time!”

“I would LOOOOVE to work on your GLAM SQUAD ONE DAY! I love everything about your new Swagg!”

“@tamroman you have come a long way. Growth is a virtue. I respect you. I look up to you as a business woman.”

Roman has effectively banished the negativity of “BBW” and forged ahead by focusing on her career. Over the summer, news broke about the many projects Roman was looking to tackle, including continuing her “Bonnet Chronicles” series on Tidal, filming a movie called “Fall Girls,” and collaborating with Snoop Dogg on a late-night variety show called “Get Into It…Forizzle.” To top it all off, Roman is also working on her own spin-off reality show called “Beverly Trill Billies” with longtime boyfriend Reggie Youngblood.

The star appears to be so busy that fans even wondered if she’d be coming back to “Basketball Wives” for season 8.

She wound up assuring folks in July that she’s not going anywhere, tweeting, “Let me address ALL of your tweets…whew you got a lot of time. Here goes, sick of me-ok, leaving show-nope, booked&busy-yup but I need All my checks I got bills. Have a wonderful day & rest your fingers 💋.”

Yet, by October the star indicated she may have changed her mind. When a fan asked her on Instagram if she’d be returning, she said, “no comment.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
