About Lamont

Lamont Graves is a television personality, producer, and philanthropist, he is best known for hosting and producing “Everyday Heroes.” He is a two-time Emmy winner and a five-time nominee, celebrated for his contributions to television. His transformative journey began with a five-city tour, during which he personally reached out to over 800 underprivileged families. His efforts included providing essential support such as food and donations for children’s Christmas gifts.

Motivated by his own experiences of enduring mental and physical abuse from his father, he established his meeting planning company in 1993, which empowered him to give back to those in need. There were times when his mother and two siblings had to seek refuge, sleeping in parks and attending school from those locations to escape the abuse from his father, underscoring the urgency of his mission to uplift others.

The concept for his television show emerged from a comment likening him to a “mini Oprah” due to his extensive charitable endeavors, inspiring him to create a pay-it-forward program.
