Cherelle Griner, the wife of controversial WNBA star Brittney Griner, was a very important figure during the whole Griner saga. Her wife was detained in Russia when she visited the country to join her teammates at UMMC Ekaterinburg. Officials accused Griner of drug charges and she spent the majority of 2022 in a Russian jail. Now that BG is back home, she is spending some quality time with her wife.

The world celebrated International Women’s Day recently and needless to say, both Brittney and her wife certainly celebrated the day very proudly. Just hours after posting a powerful message on Women’s day, Cherelle shared a very motivating thought on her Instagram account recently.
