Cherelle seemed visibly excited and in disbelief. She added, “I really cannot believe that this is happening but, we’re going to the Met.”

The WNBA star then opened up about the special honor of being able to attend such a prestigious event. She stated, “Just having this exposure, means a lot. Being in front of the biggest camera, the biggest media, so you and I can advocate for other detainees that are wrongfully detained overseas that need to come home and have the same welcoming that I had when I got back.”
