‘Vibrant Thang’: Tami Roman Lights Up the ‘Gram with Her Style

Former “Basketball Wives” reality star Tami Roman is shining even brighter since leaving the show after season eight. She’s been working on her acting career, and her style has elevated, which fans notice. 

Over the weekend, Roman, 50, stepped in her grown woman vibes with a long white-and-black cardigan, black leggings, Christian Louboutin thigh-high boots and a black tote. 

The mother of two topped the look with red-and-black shades with her ombre tresses sitting gracefully on her shoulders.  

“Find the place inside where there’s joy and stay for a while 💯💋🙏🏽,” Roman captioned the post.

Fans were all here for Roman being the ultimate fashionista and complimented her taste in design.

“VIBRANT THANG❗️”

“LOVE the jacket.”

“Lookin real Expensive😊🔥💗🤑.”

“Walk that walk.”

“When the Bonnet comes off, the Beast comes out!!! GORGEOUS PICTURE!!!”

“Those boots😍 @tamiroman help me as you did, the way your blossoming and growing is WHEW Chile. You got off reality tv n sis is glowed, favored, Loved, and HAPPY!! GOD IS SO GOOD 💯.” 

A fan pointed out that since Roman has left the show, she’s been looking much happier — and, as shown through her timeline, seems to exude a more refined woman.

The former fiery and outspoken Roman had no problem giving people a piece of her mind, which came as no surprise considering her bold personality while on “The Real World: Los Angeles” in 1993. 

While she had acting gigs here and there throughout her career, she became a popular member on “Basketball Wives.” However, her continuous fights and arguments with castmates were not necessarily the influence she wanted to have on other young women, she admitted in a 2019 interview with Kontrol Magazine. 

 “ ‘Basketball Wives’ was a mirror. I embarrassed so many people, including myself,” she said during the interview with the magazine. 

Now, Roman has bossed up as a comedian with her “Bonnet Chronicles” series, as a footwear designer for The Rich Roman collection, the author of “Mistress 101,” and actress in “Saints and Sinners.” 

Roman is also a part of the “Truth Be Told” cast on Apple TV with Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer. 

Indeed, her various projects keep her busy and allow her to evolve into the vibrant thang she is today. 

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.
