520    "An insightful, candid, and inspiring memoir from Karamo 
       Brown--Queer Eye's beloved culture expert--as he shares 
       his story for the first time, exploring how the challenges
       in his own life have allowed him to forever transform the 
       lives of those in need. When Karamo Brown first auditioned
       for the casting directors of Netflix's Queer Eye, he knew 
       he wouldn't win the role of culture expert by discussing 
       art and theater. Instead he decided to redefine what 
       "culture" could--and should--mean for the show. He took a 
       risk and declared, "I am culture." Karamo believes that 
       culture is so much more than art museums and the ballet--
       it's how people feel about themselves and others, how they
       relate to the world around them, and how their shared 
       labels, burdens, and experiences affect their daily lives 
       in ways both subtle and profound. Seen through this lens, 
       Karamo is culture: his family is Jamaican and Cuban; he 
       was raised in the South in predominantly white 
       neighborhoods and attended an HBCU (Historically Black 
       College/University); he was trained as a social worker and
       psychotherapist; he overcame personal issues of colorism, 
       physical and emotional abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, 
       and public infamy; he is a proud and dedicated gay single 
       father of two boys, one biological and one adopted. It is 
       by discussing deep subjects like these, he feels, that the
       makeovers on the show can attain their full, lasting 
       meaning. Styling your hair and getting new clothes and 
       furniture are important, but it's imperative that you 
       figure out why you haven't done so in twenty years so you 
       can truly change your life. In this eye-opening and moving
       memoir, Karamo reflects on his lifelong education. It 
       comprises every adversity he has overcome, as well as the 
       lessons he has learned along the way. It is only by 
       exploring our difficulties and having the hard 
       conversations--with ourselves and one another--that we are
       able to adjust our mind-sets, heal emotionally, and move 
       forward to live our best lives. Karamo shows us the way."-
