Now that is some *serious* BlackGirlMagic
Nineteen-year-old Louisiana State University freshman Sha’Carri Richardson is blowing up fast, with extra emphasis on fast. Why? In June, the student-athlete set a collegiate world record when she ran the 100-meter dash in just 10.75 seconds and was immediately thrust into the national spotlight. Richardson subsequently announced that she was entering the world of professional athletics and that she had signed with Nike, ‘cause checks over stripes.
But things are changing and the world is becoming increasingly accepting of individuality, even though there’s always a hater or two lurking in the shadows. Richardson’s love for running, coupled with her passion for style reminds people, herself included, of late Olympic track star Florence Griffith Joyner. In an Instagram post dedicated to Joyner, Richardson wrote, “Y’all love talking about my hair & my nails like the greatest woman to ever enter the game didn’t run in style,”.
Whenever I speak with Black people who were of age during the ‘88 Seoul games, they are generally still enamored by the magic Flo Jo possessed and her willingness to represent our culture in front of the world. Indiana’s Ashley Spencer also makes it her business to slay on the track. She won bronze in the 2016 Olympics for her 400m speed, and like Sha’Carri, is a Nike athlete. Spencer competed in nearly iridescent, pink, pointed nails, which according to photographer Loreal Curtis, got a good bit of screen time during the Rio games. She inspires her nearly 30,000 Instagram followers with pictures and clips of her in form.
