Karamo

Más información sobre el libro

When Karamo Brown auditioned for Netflix’s Queer Eye, he knew he wouldn’t win the role of culture expert by discussing traditional topics like art. Instead, he boldly declared, ‘I am culture,’ redefining its meaning. For Karamo, culture encompasses how people feel about themselves and others, their relationships with the world, and the impact of shared experiences. His own life reflects this understanding: he comes from a Jamaican and Cuban family, grew up in predominantly white Southern neighborhoods, and attended a Historically Black College/University. As a trained social worker and psychotherapist, he has faced challenges including colorism, abuse, addiction, and public scrutiny. Now a proud gay single father of two, he believes that discussing deep issues is essential for the meaningful transformations seen on the show. While styling hair matters, understanding the reasons behind neglecting it for years is equally crucial. In this poignant memoir, Karamo shares his journey through adversity and the lessons learned. He emphasizes that exploring difficulties and engaging in tough conversations are vital for emotional healing and personal growth. Karamo guides us toward living our best lives through this introspective process.
