Cherelle Griner's refusal to give up. Her pairing with other strong women, mostly strong Black women, especially from the WNBA, is why Brittney Griner is free, mikefreemanNFL writes.
In May, she pleaded with Biden during an interview on "Good Morning America," asking him to do more.
“I just keep hearing that, you know, he has the power. She’s a political pawn," she told the show. “So if they’re holding her because they want you to do something, then I want you to do it.”“I was grateful for the call, you say she’s top priority, but I wanna see it. And I feel like to see it would be me seeing BG on U.S. soil,” she said. “At this point I don’t even know who I’m getting back when she comes back.”and read her a letter that he would eventually send to Brittney.
"The president called Cherelle to reassure her that he is working to secure Brittney’s release as soon as possible," the White House said in a statement."He also read her a draft of the letter the president is sending to Brittney Griner today."Cherelle spoke at a rally in Phoenix“I remember asking her once, ‘Well, how do you play so well when you're hurting and exhausted like that?’" Cherelle said.
“We used to differ there. As the days continue to increase that my wife is wrongfully detained in Russia, I've adapted her mindset in my efforts to get her home by going no matter what or how I feel. Truthfully, I can't rest as her humanity is being stripped from her. I can't rest as her safety is in question. I honestly can't rest until she's home.”
Now Brittney is, and she is because Cherelle didn't rest. She moved many of us to not forget her wife and that included moving the President of the United States.
