Mothers all around the world are remembered and celebrated for their contributions and sacrifices on the 14th of May. Out of the countless wishes circulating across the internet, Cherelle Griner’s tribute stood out. Cherelle, who has been very influential since her wife Brittney Griner’s exile in Russia, spared a thought for all the brave mothers across the world. Moreover, her wishes came just hours after she shared a very powerful message about ‘fear’.

After sharing a Michelle Obama quote, Griner shared a series of posts where she celebrated all the mothers across the world. Additionally, she also posted a picture with her own mother.

Cherelle Griner takes a moment to appreciate mothers around the world

While mothers around the world were celebrated by their children on International Mother’s Day, Cherelle Griner spared a thought for the ones who are not so fortunate.

Taking to her Instagram, she posted a powerful story that talks about celebrating every mother regardless of whether they have a child or not. The post also talked about celebrating mothers who have a strained relationship with their children.

This came just hours after Griner had shared an intriguing Michelle Obama interview where she talks about fear and its importance. The former First Lady of the United States said, “One thing I have to master is quieting the fearful mind. Fear is a powerful emotion. We need it, it keeps us safe, but if we overprivilege it, it keeps us stuck.”

Following her posts about mothers and fear, Cherelle Griner posted a picture with her own mother. It was a picture from her graduation day. Cherelle graduated from Baylor University, the same school Brittney Griner played for.

Brittney Griner’s mother was one of her very first supporters

Raymond Griner, the father of the WNBA superstar, was very critical of his daughter when she was young. BG liked to dress up like boys and this wasn’t taken well by Ray, who was an Army veteran.

However, Griner found some respite in her mother, Sandra. After the basketball star had left home to live with her basketball coach, her only supporters were her mother and sisters. 

Eventually, Raymond Griner came to accept her daughter. Despite once claiming that he will not be ‘raising no gay girl’, Ray is one of her daughter’s biggest supporters now.
