Really good.
Don‘t want to spoil some details here…but the kindness of some of the ordinary Russians she meets is just making me tear up. This is an incredible read.

Basketball player Griner certainly struggled a lot during her trial and time held in Russian prison. It‘s an enlightening account of the treatment of prisoners in Putin‘s Russia. I followed her story a bit as it was everywhere, and I do think she was used as a negotiating pawn on trumped up charges, but check your bags for drugs before international travel people! 🤦🏻♀️ I mean I watched Locked Up Abroad back in the day…
WNBA players “earn about 250 times less than NBA players and have a hard cap on salaries. In the WNBA that year I made around 220,000. Overseas, I earned a million plus. That pay gap is why I was in Russia in the first place.”

NGL the past two days have been rough. I started Dupixent for my mast cell activation syndrome and two other conditions, and the side effects have hit hard. I‘ve felt like I‘ve had a bad cold all day. But life doesn‘t stop. I‘m still the healthiest in the house (fwiw), so it‘s been a busy day. My upbeat mix from Spotify and Brittney Griner‘s memoir are keeping me company. I just keep hope that someday I will get my life back!!
Y‘all listen UP!! Do not sleep on this one, I only just finished the prologue but I am thinking about playing hooky from work to listen to it all day long.
