Mr. Grant, 22, a broadcast journalism major, grew up in Kent, and knows his way around town from popular restaurants to the most frequented recreation spots.
Kent has really changed throughout the years, Mr. Grant told WKYCs Ms. Wiggins.

Kents so diverse and thats what I really love about it, Mr. Grant said. You could take the same route to class every single day and youll meet somebody different.
Mr. Grant, an honors student, left Kent to play division two basketball at another university out of state. However, his love for his hometown and his mothers cooking brought him back to his roots.
