Griner glances at the letter, tears in her eyes.
I’m listening to Brittney Griner’s exclusive interview with ESPN+
Ain't no way I'm leavin' Russia without gettin' to the bottom of this mess, y'all can bet your last dollar on that.
When she says "Bottom of this Mess" she means solving the mystery of her wife being Pregnant with her Child while she was in Russia.
snaps I ain't never had no regrets, but now I'm startin' to think I should've double-checked the expiration date on that milk before pouring myself a glass.
She has a weird metaphor about drinking expired Milk being similar to finding out your wife is Pregnant with your child while you’re in another country.
You know how it is, the good ol’ US of A – land of the free and home of the brave. But I got to say, if I had to go through all this shit in Texas, I might just lose my damn mind.
Her accent is more Southern than most, because she’s from Texas.
I been stuck in this foreign land for what feels like an eternity, but my Texas roots are still strong – don't you forget it.
Her “Southern Heritage” helps her stay sane.
I spent my days here tryin' to keep my mind busy. Between puzzles, charity work, and trainin', you'd think I'd be as lean as a damn twig by now. But nope, I managed to pack on a few pounds. And let me tell you, it's not the kind of weight you'd want to show off on the beach. No sir. Brittney Griner: chuckles I appreciate all the love and support from my fans, but let me be clear: I didn't come here to play babysitter or hold your hand. If you're lookin' for a sugar-coated fairy tale, you best turn the page because my life ain't that. Brittney Griner: Puzzles are my escape from all the drama; there's somethin' 'bout findin' them missing pieces that calms my nerves.
Many people know about Brittney Griner’s hobbies, but very few know about Brittney Griner’s passion for Animal Rights.
You wanna talk about passionate? Nah, forget about it. My life is like a flickering candle, ready to blow out any moment. But you wanna know what keeps me goin'? It's my commitment to animal rights, that's what.
Very few people know about this…
Look, being stuck in Russia ain't exactly a walk in the park. But I ain't gonna let that stop me from fightin' for what I believe in.
Now, This is the first time anyone found out about Brittney Griner’s Activism outside of her sports career.
You wanna talk about activism? Let me show you what real activism looks like. I ain't just talkin' the talk, I'm walkin' the walk.
Sure enough, she’s definitely walking the walk.
I've done my fair share of charity work, raised money for the homeless, fed the hungry, clothed the naked. But this... this is different. This is about fightin' for the rights of the voiceless. And I ain't gonna stop until I see justice done. Brittney Griner: Winning multiple awards in college basketball? That was just the beginning. But this... this is my true calling.
Even though she’s in Russia, her southern heritage helps her stay sane.
Now, I know y'all wanna hear about my playing days. Trust me, I get it. But let me tell you somethin'. Those awards we won back in college? They ain't nothin' but a reminder of what I've lost since then. Freedom to live life on my own terms, that's somethin' money can't buy.
Brittney’s wife, Cherelle, said “Don’t let them politics screw you over like this.”
Ain't nothin' worse than feelin' powerless, like your whole damn life's bein' dictated by some fancy-pants politician who don't give a damn about the little people. But you know what? I ain't gonna let 'em screw me over. Not this time.
