Daneeka Varner Cotton and her sister Donnaka Varner Lewis share way more than this. Both the ladies are judges in the US.
But wait, there’s more. Daneeka and Donnaka both practise in Prince George’s County.
According to WUSA, the two are the first sisters in the area to don the black robe at the same time in the state of Maryland.
It is understood that Donnaka is an associate judge at the District Court of Maryland while her sister Daneeka works as an associate judge at the Prince George’s County Circuit Court.
Another fact about them that is oddly satisfying is the pair got their degrees at Hampton University.
