‘Give It to ‘Em Auntie’: Tami Roman Serves the Internet in Her Business Drip

Tami Roman came to the ‘Gram ready to slay some looks. Roman, a former cast member of “Basketball Wives,” sported a black bow blouse with a tight-fitting black blazer jacket. The reality star wrapped a shiny black belt around her blazer and wore a grey fedora hat to go with her business-like ensemble.

Roman’s jewelry game was seemingly unmatched. The model placed a silver brooch on the outside of her jacket and sported a hat dripped in diamond rhinestones. She jokingly told people, “If Griselda was a Black woman, who grew a lil weed… 😂😂😂” to describe her boss-lady outfit.

“Give it to’ em Auntie Tami Damit 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️,” one user cheered.

A second user wrote,”Tami Mf Roman! 🔥🔥🔥” in response to her drip.

“You are serving.🔥🔥🔥🔥,”a third fan commented.

“Push through Tami😍,” a fourth fan gushed.

A fifth wrote,”Cmon Auntie yassssss 😍😍😍.”

“Get into it ❤️,” a sixth encouraged.

Roman’s caption referred to the Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco. Blanco was a high-level operative in the Medellin Cartel and was known for trafficking cocaine throughout Miami, Florida. Blanco was formally referred to as “The Queen of Cocaine” and was murdered in Colombia when she was 69 years old.

In spite of Roman referring her attire to a famous drug lord, fans seem to really love Roman’s style. The 49-year-old reality star has served multiple looks on the Internet dripped in all black. The dark colors enhance her already snatched waist and the colors seemingly make her legs appear longer.

At 5’9″, the “Saints and Sinners” actress appears to love stilettos. Roman created her own shoe line with the intention of creating sexy clothing for women. According to Footwear News, Roman, who started her own footwear line, owns over 1,000 pairs of shoes.

In regards to starting her line, Roman said, “When I thought about a business I could get into, I wanted to pick things that are organic and authentic to me. I don’t do things because someone else is winning in that lane. I do things I’m passionate about — and in the event it doesn’t take off, I can say, ‘But I still love it!’ ”

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.
