I remember those days when she and her SIL Florence Griffith-Joyner(Flo-Jo) were a force to be reckoned with at the '88 Olympics in Seoul. May Flo-Jo rest in peace. 🙏🏽

Jackie not only inspired young girls, I think her story inspired all young people.
She is a legend in St. Louis and still does tons of charitable work in the region
I respect all athletes but this woman here is 1 of my favorite of all time ..🙏🏿🙏🏿
A Legend indeed!! God Bless 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
I driving back to sacramento ca and I saw this freeway sign Jackie Joyner Kersee community center was an opportunity to try meet her or just go where greatness doing great things. I had to go there with my granddaughter. She was not there but the staff was so nice. I took pictures bout 2 t shirts and most important made a donation. I learned a lot from this athlete really the whole darn family they had a serious drive that is so motivating.
God bless you.
Jackie is such a cool role model, she is respected worldwide, and is humble too.
I knew she was a great athlete but I just learned an even greater human being.
Whatever happened to Jackie Joyner-Kersee? She's still being a badass of course.
You said it!
That part...
Exactly!
Awesome Queen 👑thank you for your gift…awesome work for the next generation
God bless this couple in uplifting their community.
I admire her. My granddaughter looks up to her as she is involved in track and field and is an honors student. I live 12 miles from the JJK Center.
Thanks Jackie.
Good on her. A great example 👏👍
She was the best athlete in the family. Her sister in law was more flamboyant but I loved them both. Her brother was a world class sprinter until he stopped competing so that he could train his wife( Florence Griffith Joyner) full time.
When my dad met Jackie and she gave him a big hug
Go Jackie you rock
Amazing woman!!
Awesome lady!
WOW ! She is a true legend even beyond her sports career. She's doing what so many black celebrities should be doing..
Love her. The greatest female athlete.
East St Louis, Illinois…. 🥰
Black Excellence... Salute!
I was silently wondering what happened to her, and here's a random video telling me.. I swear TH-cam is reading minds these days..🤔🧐😏
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

Los Angeles 2028 olympic cauldron?
❤️
Jim McKay had a MAD crush on her. He had good taste.
IS SHE RELATED TO FLO-JO?
By marriage. Flo Jo was married to her brother
Yup. Flo Jo was her sister in law.
Sister in law
Dose Jackie still Run
Hand check
🥺🥺🥺
Growing up💐Who was your idol🤪🥰
I was really jealous when she kissed him that day
That b.... can do anything. ❤❤❤
I'm going to go around the bush and then come back
Gail Devers comment is pure nonsense. Unless women are going to compete against men and beat them, they cannot be the greatest athlete in the world. LOL.
She could certainly compete again you…. So I gather your not much of a man.
Head shaped like a large piece of candycorn
Isn't she married to Obama???🤔
Obama is still living rent free in your head with no room for yourself.
@@MrCeora She looks like Michael Obama. You don't think that's funny?? 🤷
White supremacist alert!
@@adsotbraz You must be wrong A LOT in life. Never voted for Obama. Voted for Trump, TWICE. Hate to bust the narrative but I'm a black man. What's wrong with Michelle Obama being a man???

That white supremacist behavior oozes from their blood whenever they feel the desire to hate and re-hate the Obamas.
