It looks like Girls Trip and Like a Boss star Tiffany Haddish will be going from “she ready” to “she runnin’” soon, thanks to a new project from game1.
Deadline reports that Haddish is set to portray three-time Olympic gold winner Florence Griffith Joyner, aka Flo-Jo, in an upcoming untitled biopic. The feature will tell the story of the “Olympian’s remarkable life and untimely death, showcasing her historic feats, but also her enduring impact on the entire world of sports and in the communities that needed her help and inspiration the most.”
The World’s First International Black Heritage + History Month launched June 1
“I am looking forward to telling Flo-Jo’s story the way it should be told,” Haddish explained. “My goal with this film is making sure that younger generations know my ‘she-ro’ Flo-Jo, the fastest woman in the world to this day, existed.”
