Changing the Narrative with Cecil Grant Jr.

A former Air Force officer, restaurant manager, car salesman and paralegal, Cecil has had the opportunity to work with and meet people from all walks of life.

He is a husband, father and now grandfather, driven to teach his family that the only person keeping you from achieving your goals is you.

A graduate of the United States Air Force Academy in 1983, Cecil loves to read, write and stay active. He is a distance runner and an advocate for maintaining your fitness, regardless of your age. With 24 hours in a day, there is plenty of time for you to pursue your goals.

He is an American, who is black with conservative values.

His mission in life is not to change your mind when it comes to any issues.

He just wants you to think for yourself.

Cecil is living his best life in Jacksonville, Florida with his lovely wife Cheryl. They have four adult children and six grandchildren, with a seventh one on the way.
We hope to shed light on a variety of topics with a new lens with deeper analysis and pointed questions that cause you to think about things differently.
We’re not here to change your mind we want you to think for yourself.
