Appropos of nothing, I remembered that track & field Olympian Florence Griffith-Joyner, affectionately known as #FloJo, had a Barbie-scale fashion doll in the late '80s, and not only did it actually resemble her, it appears she was at least nominally active in its marketing. youtu.be/YnHbc1632mA
PART 3: #WomensHistoryMonth Athlete Flo-Jo had the gift of speed and prophecy. She predicted she'd die young and began writing letters to her only child, Mary Joyner, to be opened when she turned 16.
Mary still speaks fondly about her memories of her iconic mom. #FloJo #BlackGirlMagic #Sports
#SportHistory: In 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner set world records in the 100m (10.49 seconds) and 200m (21.34 seconds) events. Her incredible achievements remain unbroken to this day, showcasing her extraordinary talent and dedication. #FloJo #Athletics #WorldRecords

Was talking to my son about my childhood hero #FloJo & realized she died at age 38, which is how old I’ll be turning this year. Damn, can’t believe that. She was an icon in her short time on 🌍, may we all live with the style & joy she found on the track!...
