SUMMARY:It Had to Happen Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:What’s a man without a legacy? Find out during a special meet & greet w/ Dr. Kareem “DJ Kayotik” Thomson during his Book Tour stop at Bliss\n\n\nJoin us at Bliss Books & Wine for a book signing and meet & greet with Dr. Kareem “DJ Kayotik” Thomson\, author of the powerful new memoir\, It Had to Happen: What’s a Man Without a Legacy!\n \nKareem Thomson’s life has been shaped by resilience\, heartbreak\, and an unyielding will to rise from the ashes. A husband\, father\, and military veteran\, Kareem has overcome unimaginable challenges. As DJ Kayotik\, he has rocked crowds across five continents\, working alongside some of the biggest names in music\, including 50 Cent. But behind the accolades\, there is a man with a story much deeper than his public persona. \n \nGrowing up in Southside Jamaica\, Queens\, during the crack epidemic\, Kareem’s life was marked by addiction\, loss\, and survival. From his parents’ struggles with drugs to his own journey through homelessness\, he faced the harsh realities of life head-on. But nothing could prepare him for the greatest loss of all-the death of his only son\, Dante\, just weeks before his high school graduation. \n \nIn It Had to Happen\, Kareem takes readers through his darkest moments of grief and despair\, revealing how the loss of his son shattered him-and how it also led him closer to God. Through his pain\, Kareem finds healing\, drawing strength from his faith and the love of his family. \n \nThis is not just a story of survival; it’s a story of transformation. It’s about a man who learned to honor his son’s legacy\, embrace his role as a father\, and heal a broken heart. It Had to Happen is a raw\, powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit\, and how even in the deepest pain\, there is hope for redemption. \n \nKareem Thomson’s journey is ongoing\, and this book is a tribute to a man who continues to fight for his legacy-one step at a time. \n \nLocation: 3502 Gillham Rd \nDate: January 9\, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Central Time) \nMark your calendars and spread the word. See you there!
