10 years ago, 13-year-old Mo’ne Davis made history in Williamsport, PA as the first girl to ever pitch a shutout and win a game in the Little League World Series.
Since her groundbreaking performance, Davis has inspired girls across the country, becoming the first Little League player to land on the cover of Sports-Illustrated and has since worked with major networks like MLB and ESPN.
As she grew up, Mo’ne’s ambitions continued to evolve. After playing softball at Hampton University and earning her bachelor’s degree in journalism, she decided it was time to leave the dugout and take a swing at the business side of sports.
Mo’ne now attends Columbia University’s sports management program and expects to receive her master’s degree this fall. Her long-term goals include owning professional women’s teams in her hometown of Philadelphia, to continue to make an impact on women in sports.
As Mo’ne prepares to enter the professional world, she remains guided by the same dedication and commitment that fueled her Little League championship and is eager to further her impact.
“I feel like that’s probably the big thing for me is making sure everyone has a seat,” said Davis. “Has fair chances and the same opportunities.”
