From the Editor
I would like to personally welcome you to Urban Grandstand Digital. This has definitely been a long time coming for us, but it has been well worth the travel. Here, you will find the top stories, interviews, and features in entertainment, along with more on sports, fashion, and all things urban culture.
Being based in Cleveland, Ohio we are at an ultimate advantage. Our great city is filled with a varity of talented individuals who don't have much option when it comes to publicity, promotion, and overall marketing. Despite the talent we have, there has never been an adequate source to promote and showcase that talent. That, of course, is where we come in. We have a powerful team who are all ready to cover the best of Cleveland, as well as many of the established musical acts, entrepreneurs, fashion representatives, and sports figures around the world. Cleveland is our primary focus, and we want to show that!
Our cover story this issue shows a great representation of our city. MMA fighters Jerrell Hodge (@r3llhodg3) and Darnell Pettis (mma_achilles) represent our city like a badge of honor. They both have conquered the amateur world of MMA Boxing, and have both recently progressed to the professional end of the sport. Our feature dives head-first into their humble beginnings, and their journeys to MMA Superstardom. We also have stories with Red Grant, who recently came through our city as an opening act for Katt Williams comedy tour, actress Denisha Hardeman, model Keaira Williams, and so much more. Again, we welcome you to our journey. We're so glad to have you!
