Her career is marked by historic achievements, including being the first African American female superior court judge in Pierce County and the first African American Daffodil Princess. Inspired by her father’s role as a director during an anti-poverty program, she decided in seventh grade to pursue a legal career, motivated by the independence and pride of those seeking legal assistance rather than handouts.

Reflecting on her path, Ms. Grant notes an early case where she represented a woman pressured to compromise her integrity to advance in her job, which sparked her passion for addressing sexual harassment cases. At a time when sexual harassment was not legally recognized as sex discrimination, she advocated for its recognition, working on cases based on common law and precedents. Another notable case involved defending a man wrongfully terminated for filing a worker’s compensation claim, at a time where there were no statutes addressing this issue. Her efforts contributed to later legislative changes to prevent such injustices. She attributes her success to her unwavering passion for the law, dedication to helping others, and a commitment to giving back to her community. She emphasizes humility as a guiding principle, acknowledging that success is not achieved in isolation and that remaining grounded is essential for navigating personal and professional challenges.
