As the culture expert on the Netflix hit Queer Eye and host of a nationally syndicated talk show, Karamo Brown is known for the ease with which he relates to other people, helping them to discover strength in their identities. Drawing from his own experiences and work in social services, Karamo will talk about the mental health journey, especially for young people, during “Mental Health Matters: A Conversation with Karamo,” this year’s Roland Quest Lecture at Elmhurst University. NBC Chicago medical and health reporter Lauren Petty will serve as moderator for the event, to be held on Tuesday, November 14 at 7 PM. An Emmy-nominated host on Queer Eye, Karamo also has his own Podcast, named Karamo, where common people receive advice or share their feelings on some of life’s thorniest issues. He has also published his memoir, Karamo: My Story of Embracing Purpose, Healing, and Hope, exploring how the challenges in his own life have allowed him to transform the lives of those in need. Karamo is the recipient of the 2018 Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award, and he meets with members of Congress on policy and legislation supporting LGBTQ+ youth and their allies on both sides of the aisle.
