Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

As Tami Roman wraps up the first season of her new BET series, fans have been singing her praises.

“Carl Weber’s The Family Business” aired its season finale Tuesday, Jan. 29, but ahead of the program’s showing Roman teased what would occur.

“Finale time! TUESDAY 9 p.m. @bet #TheFamilyBusinessBET,” Roman eagerly captioned the trailer for the final episode of season 1 on Jan. 27.

The program, which is based on The New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber’s book series, follows the Duncan family. The head of the clan is LC Duncan, who runs a family-owned exotic car dealership. He and his family reside in Jamaica, Queens, and appear to be upstanding by day. But at night the family is faced with fighting against the high-ranking politicians, mafia and drug cartels in the city.

Roman portrays London Duncan, the oldest daughter, who in the finale has to contend with the apparent kidnapping of her daughter Mariah. Initially, London may come off as a homebody, but her secrets are anything but tame.

Fans who have watched along with the show since its debut in November have sung Roman’s praises.

“Very happy for you! I’ve watched you over the years and you’ve only done awesome things…congratulations!🙌🏽”

“This damn show right here @tamiroman y’all really be having me on edge trying to figure it out 🔥🙌🏽”

“How I LooooooooooVE this SERIES I watch it Over and over OFFFFFF the Charts EVERYONE in this series ROCKED…”

This is one of the newest forays outside of “Basketball Wives” for the star. However, it is far from her first acting gig. After first appearing on TV screens on season 2 of MTV’s “The Real World” in 1993, Roman has snagged roles on “Married with Children,” “The Parkers,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” and “Half and Half.”

More recently, she appeared on CBS’ “Extant” in 2014 and continues’ to have her “The Bonnet Chronicles” series on Tidal. She recently played on BET’s TV movie “Fall Girls” earlier this month.

Still independent.

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.
