[@Feed-My-Mind-Not-My-Ego]

Tami’s story is incredible. Before meeting her ex-husband, she was held against her will for several days while being sexually violated. Her ex-husband added to her emotional trauma by cheating and doing her wrong. I don’t condone physical violence, but I understand why she was so angry on BBW. Sometimes someone’s past hurt turns to anger, which is a comfort zone for some. Nobody can take advantage of them once in that angry comfort zone. Evolving and embracing change have helped her heal and grow to become a better version of herself. I’ve always liked Tami. She’s always been real to me.

Wow fun fact I watched this when it actually hired. Tami has always been the bomb. She is also in a new show called "PAT" something,. She surprised me with her comedic timing. She was the stand out in my opinion on the show. I am looking forward for the next session. Love her.

She is hilarious on the Ms. Pat show!!!! She had a funny side on BBW but I think she wasn’t trying to be but it came out that way.
