Thirteen-year old baseball phenom Mo’ne Davis has launched a sneaker line to help impoverished girls

“I never thought at the age of 13 I’d be a role model, but having young girls look up to me is pretty cool,” Mo’Ne said in a news release. “If I can inspire them to reach their goals, that would be even cooler. Designing shoes with M4D3 (Make a Difference Everyday) is exciting, and I wanted them to support Because I Am a Girl to help girls and give them a chance at a better future.” 

The sneakers are priced at $75.

Mo’ne, who is the first female pitcher to win a Little League World Series game, also inked a book and movie deal. The money from the book will be used to rebuild the 17th and Fitzwater field in Philly where she was discovered and still plays with her baseball team, the Anderson Monarchs. As for the movie, “It’s pretty much just like the book. It’s about my journey.” 

Go head girl!
