Sherry Gordy

Sherry Gordy is a dynamic entrepreneur, philanthropist, producer, and proud daughter of Motown legend Berry Gordy. Born in Detroit and raised in Southern California, Sherry’s life has been guided by the values of hard work, purpose, and creativity.

 

Her career began early with a role at an annuity company during high school, followed by business studies at UCLA and acting training at the Estelle Harmon Academy in Hollywood. She earned her real estate brokerage license and built a successful career in the real estate and mortgage industry.

 

Driven to make a broader impact, Sherry apprenticed at Motown under her father’s mentorship and later stepped into the entertainment world with the launch of Tickle Me Tuesdays Comedy Jam Dinner Show on the Las Vegas Strip. In 2004, she founded the Sherry Gordy Foundation to support the emotional and educational well-being of underserved youth.

 

In 2013, she created the hit Las Vegas showcase Sherry Gordy Presents: Take The Stage, a Motown-inspired open mic platform for rising stars, followed by the national talent competition Stage 2 Stage. Her work has earned her multiple awards, accolades, and even two official “Sherry Gordy Days.”

 

Sherry has supported causes like The Las Vegas Soul Festival benefiting the Lazarex Cancer Foundation and played a key role in the Motown Museum Expansion in Detroit. Even after taking a brief hiatus in 2016 to care for her mother, she continued expanding her global reach with a successful production in Australia.

 

In 2025, she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Philosophy in Humanities from United Graduate College and Seminary International, honoring her lifelong dedication to service, empowerment, and the arts.

 

Today, Sherry Gordy remains a passionate visionary, committed to building community through entertainment, innovation, and love—with her devoted spouse by her side.
