Using his motto “The Gatekeepers Are Gone,” Lamar, along with his wife Ronnie, has successfully grown the couple’s website Black and Married with Kids to become the largest independent, African American marriage and parenting site on the web.
Armed with a passion for empowering married couples and a knowledge of how to leverage social media, Lamar and Ronnie have taken Tyler New Media and Black and Married with Kids from a small personal blog to an international brand that also boasts five independently produced films and a social media presence that includes over 500,000 Facebook fans. In 2012 the Tylers were acknowledged on Ebony Magazine's Power 100 list of the country's most influential African-Americans which included President Barack Obama, Beyonce and Jay-Z and Tyler Perry among its ranks.
In addition to the Ebony Power 100 they've also been featured as finalists for the Black Enterprise Family Business of the Year Award and Infusionsoft's Small Business ICON competition.
Currently, Lamar shares his online sales expertise through public speaking and educational events with small businesses owners around the country.
