‘You Go Girl’: Tami Roman’s ‘Fly’ Style Is a Hit With Fans

Weeks after news of season 2 being given the green light, it looks as though filming for the BET + series “The Family Business” has begun, as cast member Tami Roman shared on her Instagram.

“Listen, y’all ain’t ready for London this season. Baby, the Duncans are back, your favorite family is back in town, you better get into it,” said Roman of her character, London, and what’s to come this season.

Aside from the excitement over the upcoming season, fans were fawning over Roman’s style.

“Tami stay fly 😍”

“You are slaying it Tami”

“You go girl, and looking good. 👏👏👏”

The show is based on New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber’s hit novel series of the same name that details the life of a family from the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, New York, that runs a luxury car dealership by day and lives a life of unsavory activities by night.

Roman portrays the eldest daughter, who is also a single mother. Fans of the show sang her praises and are more than ready to see the “Basketball Wives” veteran continue to display her acting chops, as well as to find out what’s next in the story.

“I can’t wait I love the Duncans 💖💖”

“I been waiting on y’all ❤️❤️”

“Love u on that show girl ur dif into it sis 💯”

Since being catapulted into the limelight following her stint on “The Real World,” Roman has racked up acting gigs on a host of movies and shows, including “Saints and Sinners,” “Extant,” “One on One” and “Half & Half.”

The 49-year-old struck gold on social media when she created her comical “Bonnet Chronicles.” The videos were such a hit that streaming service Tidal offered Roman a miniseries deal to feature the content on its platform.

One things for certain, Roman isn’t going to let a lack of sleep prevent her from securing a check and further building her acting career.

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.
