As the world comes together to celebrate the Olympic Games, we’re re-airing this powerful conversation to honor Brittney Griner’s legacy as a three-time Olympic gold medalist and the deeper meaning of resilience, courage, and representation on the global stage.  

Three-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA champion, Brittney Griner joins My Legacy podcast for her first full-length interview alongside her wife, attorney and activist Cherelle Griner. 

In this deeply personal episode, they sit down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to share what it really took to survive nearly 300 days of wrongful detainment in Russia – and the love, strategy, and community that brought Brittney home. 

Together, they share how: 
You can’t play by the rules if the system is broken 
Advocacy means knowing when—and where—to be loud 
Grief doesn’t wait for the crisis to end 
Love means telling the truth, even when it hurts 
Legacy is built in small, pressure-filled choices

What gets lost when we stop being shocked by injustice 
How hope is passed down, even in the darkest places 
The crisis in our courts 
Why this generation may be our most powerful yet
