Karim Ramos: "From Fat Farm To Phat Farm" (PHOTOS)

(Karim Ramons and Russell Simmons).

Publishing ideas used to be complicated but once the mimeograph came around in 1876, anyone with a bicep, an idea and some funds could publish whatever they wanted. Fast forward to the 21st Century and the same can be said about digital devices and publishing platforms like Twitter and Lulu, the printing presses of today that allow for the sharing of experiences.

Ditto traditional publishing methods like paperback books. 

'From Fat Farm To Phat Farm: Never Give Up' is a self-published memoir and motivational book written by Karim Ramos, a Puerto Rican actor, model and singer from Florida who went from living in his car and sleeping on park benches to interning for and working with Russell Simmons and Phat Farm in the mid 1990s.
