“You Are the Righteous, the Best and the Powerful,” was the message delivered by Sister Ava Muhammad, national spokesperson to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, in Detroit at the Charles H. Wright African American Museum, Saturday, June 6.

Speaking at the 1st Annual Closing Ceremony for the group, From Girl II Goddess, a non-profit self improvement program for adolescent girls 12-17, Sister Ava laid out the perfect blueprint for self-love, respect, and making good choices.

The “From Girl II Goddess Program,” was designed to teach knowledge and love of self, how to act at home and abroad, and how to tap into their “inner goddess” to encourage growth through self examination, self-analysis and self-correction. Certificates of completion and appreciation were given out to the girls for the 2008-09 semesters.
