“It was a place to be both leader and learner, confident and vulnerable. Dr. Norris is a wonderful professional who balanced the scholarly, the real, the hopes, and the challenges. She is a great listener and facilitator.” University Faculty Administrator

Dr. Norris engaged these adult-learners adeptly, incorporating rich, dynamic pedagogy and always utilizing key principles of adult learning theory. She infused passion throughout the sessions into her professional practice as a skilled educator

I find the conversations with other parents and with Dr. Norris inspiring and meaningful. It has been powerful to gather as a community and discuss how we can impact change to be aware of implicit bias in our own lives and how to try to reach out to our communities to build stronger relationships with all families, not just ones with whom we would easily connect

Dr. Norris developed a framework that uses the concept of Cultural Humility as the basis for teaching, learning, and discourse on racial inequality and cultural identity that has proven highly effective in sustaining community engagement in difficult, and at times, painful work.
