WHO IS THE JUSTICE?

Justice For Her, Inc
"Choices do matter"
Empowering and Educating Women To Make Better Choices



From the Founder-I have faced my worst fears these past seven months: After I suffered a right brain hemorrhage, hospitalized in intensive care for 7 days.  While there doctors discovered I had a rare disease of the brain.  Surgery was performed to increase blood flow to a blood and oxygen starved brain.

The good news is that with G'd's mercy, I have triumphed and is on the road to recovery. This strong woman has faced death and won!  I've shown everyone all about the power of the human spirit.  One of the most common sentiments I've heard throughout this life threatening ordeal is how this "really puts my life in perspective."

"As I lay in my bed, day after day, night after night, I felt blessed to know with absolute certainty that I am living in alignment with G'd's plan and my values; I'm grateful He has allowed me to be with my family and friends and not miss out on the ‘oh so important yet irreplaceable moments that life brings to us. This life-changing experience has helped show me, with even more clarity, how important it is to live our lives with purpose and meaning because life is far too precious to waste."

Can you see G'd using His servant to show everyone His Power and what living a life of purpose means. I just manifest it.
With this new-found passion for life, I am more committed now than ever before to helping others—especially women and at-risk girls—discover and express their life’s purpose. Life is too short to not live in alignment with G'ds plan and who you really are and why you’ve been put on this earth.

Peace, good health and harmony
Aginah

Justice For Her, Inc (The Justice) is an organization dedicated to preparing women to be effective members of the global society.  Justice For Her, Inc was officially incorporated in 2010 with the mission of empowering and educating women to "Make better choices".  

Dr. Rosa K. Lewis, Director of Education says,  our Life Mastery Program encourage our program participants to create and actively live their "Plan for Living" based on the highest good for themselves and humanity. 
Additionally, The Justice promotes confidence and self-esteem in at-risk girls, also non-violent female offenders were selected because the children of female offenders are Devastated and are more likely to commit a crime than those whose mothers are not incarcerated; we're attempting to keep mothers working and with their families rather than in prison again and again. The Justice believes that ALL women have the innate ability to become productive citizens and contributing members of society.  "Choices do matter."
