Mo'ne Davis, Philly’s Little League World Series superstar, has given us another reason to want to be like her when we grow up.
Arguably more admirable than Davis’ astonishing athleticism - the 13-year-old Taney Dragons pitcher rose to fame in 2014 after becoming the first girl to win a Little League World Series game and was named the 2014 SportsKid of the Year by Sports Illustrated Kids - are her efforts to serve and inspire underprivileged girls.
Her latest move: Designing a sneaker line whose proceeds benefit impoverished girls around the world. There is even a pair emblazoned with baseball stitch.
According to Jezebel Magazine, Davis' limited-edition shoe line was created in partnership with M4D3 (Make A Difference Everyday) and Because I'm a Girl, organizations that share her girl power-powered mission.
Fifteen percent of proceeds will go to charity.
In an interview with MadameNoire, Davis shared her excitement over being a role model for other young women.
"If I can inspire them to reach their goals, that would be even cooler,” she said.
