Los Angeles Sparks star Zahui B. shared her recent exchanges with Brittney Griner.

“She jokes in her letters. I don’t know how she does it with what she’s going through. She’s an amazing soul,” Zahui B. said. “She brings light in a situation like this. I don’t think a lot of people could manage to do that.”

Brittney Griner’s wife, Cherelle, recently called upon president Joe Biden to get the star back home.

“There is one person that can go get her, and that’s our president,” Griner told ESPN’s Angela Rye in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “He has that power. You know, I’m just like, ‘Why are we not using it? Like, urgently, use it.’ We’re expecting him to use his power to get it done.”
