TAMI ROMAN KEEPS IT REALLY REAL
Tami attributes her success in reality TV to her sincerity, and the fact that she is 100% herself, on or off camera, and that is what the audiences love.
“I think in this day and era, people recognize that. You think you’re pulling the wool over the audience’s eyes or that people don’t recognize that. The audience is super super smart, they know when it’s not real, when it’s not authentic,” she said.
