His best-selling 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 televisions iconic series "The Real World." Shortly after the conclusion of "The Real World," 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.
