Brittney Griner Built a Family, Got Detained, and Made It to Paris. Here's the Full Story.

Cassidy and Skylar sit down with WNBA legend and Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner and her wife, attorney and advocate Cherelle Griner. BG and Cherelle open up about building their family through IVF, navigating the donor selection process, and what it was like to bring baby Bash into the world — all while BG was preparing for the Paris Olympics and still processing everything that came before. This discussion touches on: How BG and Cherelle met at Baylor over a stolen milkshake — and why BG spent a month tracking Cherelle down. Their decision to pursue IVF, what the process actually looked like shot by shot, and what surprised them most about the fertility clinic. The delivery room moment that shows exactly why Black women need to advocate loudly for themselves — and a doctor who actually listened. BG leaving for the Olympics four days after Cherelle gave birth, and how they both survived it. What Cherelle wishes she had known going into early parenthood — and why she'd go back to those first slow days in a heartbeat. A first look at The Brittney Griner Story, premiering at Sundance.
