Karamo Brown is the culture expert on Netflixā€™s original series ā€˜Queer Eyeā€™

Itā€™s hard not to cry at one of Karamo Brownā€™s uplifting speeches during Netflixā€™s Queer Eye. There, this personality stars as the culture expert and as a licensed psychotherapist and social worker, encouraging local heroes to be the best version of themselves. In his book, Naturally Tan: A Memoir, the fashion expert of the series discussed his first impression of Karamo Brown.Ā 

ā€œSo this setup was especially great because I wasnā€™t trying to get the job; I was just trying to make a friend,ā€ Tan France wrote. ā€œAnd already I had found a couple of people I thought I could be friends with, and still am friends with, to this day!ā€

ā€œOne of them was Karamo,ā€ France continued. ā€œI remember thinking, ā€˜Gosh, youā€™re attractive.ā€™ He makes such intense eye contact, where he looks you deep in the eye as heā€™s shaking your hand, and itā€™s like everything else disappears. That night, I thought it was just for me ā€” that I was special. Since then, Iā€™ve learned that little s*** is just a highly skilled schmoozer, and he does that to everyone. Itā€™s a skill I wish I had.ā€

Additionally, he has a childrenā€™s book published, written in part by Brownā€™s son, Jason ā€œRachelā€ Brown. I Am Perfectly Designed encourages young children to embrace who they are. This isnā€™t far from the messages spread on the Netflix original series Queer Eye and their recently released mini-season, Queer Eye: Weā€™re in Japan.

ā€œNot often do parents and children get to work on a project together, especially after your children are out of middle school or sometimes high school,ā€ Karamo Brown said during an interview with USA Today.
