      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.

      How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids
    • 2017

      Nach der Geburt des ersten Kindes müsste eigentlich eitel Sonnenschein herrschen, doch oft gehen die Probleme dann erst los. Als strauchelnde Neu-Mutter und plötzlich unzufriedene Ehefrau erzählt Jancee Dunn, wie ihre Beziehung unverhofft ein Fall für den Paartherapeuten wird. Mit viel Humor schildert sie die Tücken des Familienalltags, etwa wenn ihr Mann völlig selbstvergessen Online-Schach spielt, anstatt sich wie versprochen um die gemeinsame Tochter zu kümmern. Amüsant und äußerst aufschlussreich!

      New Jersey in the 1980s had everything Jancee Dunn wanted: trips to the shore, an array of malls, and especially, her family. But one night she met a girl who worked at Rolling Stone magazine. Jancee loved music, so she passed along her résumé. Soon she found herself backstage, interviewing a nerve-wracking parade of the famous--she trekked to the Canadian Rockies with Brad Pitt, was chased by paparazzi who mistook her for Ben Affleck's new girlfriend, snacked on Velveeta with Dolly Parton, and danced drunkenly onstage with the Beastie Boys. She even became a VJ on MTV2. She plunged into the booze-soaked rock-and-roll life, trading her good-girl suburban past for late nights and hipster guys. But then a chance meeting turned her life in an unexpected direction and helped her to learn to appreciate where she came from and what she wanted to be.
