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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
