Family
Judge Shera Grant is happily married to Daryl Grant, a Managing Director with KPMG Advisory Services. They have two beautiful children, Madelyn and Grey. Madelyn enjoys playing with Legos and taking all things around the house apart to see if she can fix them. Grey enjoys watching Bubble Guppies and eating everything in sight! They are members of Trinity Baptist Church, worshipping under the leadership of Rev. John E. King, Jr.
Judge Shera Grant is the identical twin sister of Judge Shanta Owens. Coincidentally, they both have girls that are the same age AND boys that are the same age. They emphatically deny planning this! After the sudden death of their father at a very young age, they were raised by a single mom who instilled the values of hard work, tenacity, and a strong spiritual foundation.
