We had the good fortune of connecting with Kareem Ellis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kareem, what inspires you?
Life is the simplest way to answer that question. I truly take everything that I experience and want to experience to build the life I want and need for myself.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Lit Events has been operating for quite some time and what we stand on and value the most is the connections we make with our clients and how we can gainfully use our community to help each other. Lit Events has never taken on a project without partnering or collaborating with another in the community to make the event successful. I’m most proud of the growth we’ve had as a whole within the last year, Booking events in places and for people I could’ve only imagined. Through dedication, consistency, and perseverance Lit Events is where it is today, we get inquiries and questions for days, do they always turn into booked clients no but we continue on and provide the same standard of service for everyone. I was always told there are about 8-9 no’s you’ll hear before you get a yes when asking a question and apply that to my business. I never expect to just get a booking, I know I have to work to secure that booking each time when someone reaches out to me or vice versa.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hmmm, I’d take them to a few spots but first a burger at Grindhouse Killer Burgers. That’s my favorite burger spot and the ambiance is always cool. We’d then probably go out somewhere around the city for drinks maybe Minero at Ponce City Market because their drinks always do the job and possibly end the night at friends or another bar. It honestly all depends on what mood we’d probably be in. There are endless possibilities in the A!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My biggest shoutout goes to GOD, nothing I’ve been doing would be possible if he wasn’t in the mix of it all. My success is only because of him. AS far as people go I have a group consisting of family and friends that show love and support me in business.
