She is also a co-founder of WomenOverIncarcerated.org, an advocacy group created to shed light on the lengthy sentences of non-violent, female federal offenders and to rally for sentencing reform.

While incarcerated Davis received numerous college degrees, including her Associates in Psychology, Bachelors in Christian Education and Masters in African American Ministry. She is currently enrolled in a PHD program. In June 2017, Davis completed her prison sentence. Upon her release she published the “Pink Panther Clique, an urban fiction book written with Aisha Hall and Sunshine Smith-Williams. Both co-authors were formerly incarcerated with Davis. Behind bars they collaborated with New York Times Best Selling Author, Wahida Clark, who assisted them in publishing their book. Their collaboration ultimately spearheaded a movement helping to shed light on the epidemic of women in prison and the lengthy sentences many are serving for non-violent crimes.
