New Ringer Paris 2024 story: Brittney Griner Came Home. Her Journey to Rediscover Herself on and off the Court Was Only Beginning.
With a new son and a chance to earn her third Olympic gold medal, Griner is finding joy and healing after enduring months of hell
Hi everyone, here’s my third and final Olympic story: a profile of Brittney Griner. I spent months on this story. It might be one of the hardest I’ve ever taken on.

Obviously, she has been through unimaginable pain and trauma, but I wanted this story to also include joy. I hope you like it and feel inspired by the way she is moving forward in her life.
“I didn’t know how resilient I was. With life and basketball, I’ve realized I’m a little bit more resilient than I thought I was,” she told me.
If you could please read the story and share it on social media, I would really appreciate it. And please preorder my upcoming book on Hakeem Olajuwon if you feel so inclined!: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Life-Legacy-Hakeem-Olajuwon/dp/030683118X
