🙏🏽🤍💔🕊️One of my earliest heroes… #JudyPace was EVERYTHING Talented Simply Synonymous with Black Beauty🔥❤️ Repost: @edlgordon Sorry to hear about the passing of @judypaceflood If you grew up in the70’s, like I did, you remember what a trailblazer she was. She was one of the few Black faces seen regularly on TV at the time. She guest starred on many popular shows including: Batman, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Days of Our Lives, I Spy, Ironside, The Mod Squad, Sanford and Son, and Good Times. She also played opposite Billy Dee Williams, as Gale Sayers’s wife in the critically acclaimed 1971 TV movie Brian’s Song. Her film credits include, Cotton Comes to Harlem and The Thomas Crown Affair. She was the crush of many brothers and teens, who were happy to see a beautiful chocolate sister in the tube. In her personal life, she was married baseball star, Curt Flood and actor, Don Mitchell. The LA native was 83.

💙Dear RJ, When you were 3, they told us you didn’t belong. They said you were “unteachable,” “antisocial,” “disconnected.” I remember walking out of that preschool with a heart that felt shattered. You played alone, stimming, self soothing, struggling to connect words…your twin sister beside you — your protector, your safe place. Middle school wasn’t kinder. Kids can be cruel. And the world didn’t understand you yet. But you… You kept going. Quiet strength. Gentle heart. You always had something beautiful in you — even when others couldn’t see it. And look at you now. Loved. Valued. Respected. A team who stands with you and for you. Purpose. Brotherhood. A paycheck. Pride. A dream job. A life they said you’d never have — and you built it anyway. And my heart? It’s overflowing. From “unteachable” to undeniable From dismissed to unstoppable. I always believed in you. I always will. Mom 💙🙏🏽 #LetsGoDodgers 🙏🏽💙 Thank you @mlbonfox @mlb @dodgers, Tom Rinaldi, @lonr10 @magicjohnson Doc, Stan, Andrew, Alex, Max, Freddie, Mookie and all the players who participated and who give RJ love and friendship every day… Thank you @arod @davidortiz @derekjeter for your beautiful comments 🙏🏽
The way I LOVE this 🥹💙⚾️🙏🏽 Repost @cbssacramento: The Lodi High School baseball field transformed into what felt like spring training in October for a brand-new T-ball league. Local coach and founder Jose “Jojo” Duenas started up the Lodi T-Rexes, a team for kids of all ages living with autism, after realizing there were limited sports option that catered to his son’s specific needs. “My son, I wanted him to have a good experience,” Duenas said. “And for people like my wife, there’s some parents out there that really struggle. I’m doing this for them. I want to get them the opportunity to celebrate their kids.” #lodi #california #autism #sports
#tbt Still emotional from last night’s @mlbonfox piece. 🥹Thank you to everyone who sent such loving kind and compassionate, emotional comments. I read them all through teary eyes #tbt to when RJ was 13 advocating, uplifting and inspiring even back then. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #autism #selfadvocacy
