Alpha Female League Inc [the Alpha Leagues] was founded by Barbara Davis in September 2015 and formed into a nonprofit in April 2017. This not the first organization Ms. Davis has founded.

Texas Hurricanes was an exhibition team that played in the ABA, professional basketball league, TPBL and UBL , semi-pro leagues, and competed in other pro-level tournaments, like tournament of the stars and the FedEx tournament.
Raised in Kansas, Barbara lived with her biological mother until age 9 and then became a ward of the state until aging out. Although living and being away from her biological siblings and childhood friends, she found a way to cope through after school sports and activities.
After high school, Barbara had an opportunity to attend college, but choose the path of motherhood. She was a single mother of 4 daughters and 1 son, and after getting them through school, decided to return to school and got her degree in Criminal Justice. Although her education is in criminal justice, her passion and path lead her to being a leader for young women and her drive and heart continues to lead her to helping others.
Bringing in and building on her experience of being a woman of color and single mother, Barbara’s desire and focus remains on guiding young girls to becoming strong women and grooming young boys to becoming successful leaders. Her love for education and youth development over the past 22 years has led her to the formation of Alpha Female League Inc, where she can not only fulfill her calling in education but fulfil her purpose in helping others grow.
In 2015, Barbara wrote a letter to the White House about her ambition for the youths sports and programs and have gotten a letter back with positive feedback from President Barack Obama.
