Karamo Biography

Emmy winner Karamo is the host of his own nationally syndicated daytime talk show entitled "Karamo" and distributed by NBC Syndication. He is also the Culture Expert on Netflix's international six-time Emmy-winning series "Queer Eye." Karamo is known as a "sympathetic talk therapist wrapped inside a life coach and zipped into a fast fashion bomber jacket..." according to The New Yorker.

Praised for his natural ability to connect with people from all walks of life, Karamo takes on the role of transforming the hearts and minds of individuals on both of his shows. He helps them confront and overcome internal and external challenges, guiding them toward personal growth.

Karamo draws from his work in social services to show how he both discovered and learned to explore his many different identities. Whether as a black man, openly gay man, a son of immigrant parents, a Christian or a single father, Karamo strategically utilizes the strength of his numerous identities to achieve success – and teaches others to do the same.

His memoir, "Karamo: My Story of Embracing Purpose, Healing, and Hope," explores how the challenges in his own life have allowed him to forever transform the lives of those in need.

His bestselling children's book, "I Am Perfectly Designed," is an empowering mantra for kids and adults to embrace authenticity.

Karamo was the first openly gay African-American in the history of reality television's iconic series "The Real World." Shortly after the series' conclusion, Karamo learned that he was a father of a nine-year-old boy, Jason. With the support of his child’s mother, Karamo petitioned and gained full custody of his son. A year later, Karamo adopted Jason’s half-brother, Christian.

In addition to being an Emmy winner, Karamo was the recipient of the 2018 Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award. Karamo also continues to work directly with President Obama and his My Brother's Keeper Alliance empowering today's youth. He also meets with members of congress on policy and legislation supporting LGBTQ youth and their allies on both sides of the aisle.
