Norma Fay Nicholson is the founder and CEO of IgnitePress Consultant, a not-for-profit organization that focuses on youth justice in Canada. Norma holds an MA in Adult Education and a BA in Sociology and Psychology, and is a retired RN with over forty years of healthcare leadership. A five-time self-published author of nonfiction books, she utilizes these books as educational tools to reach children, youth, and their families, enhancing their knowledge of the Canadian Youth Justice System.
She facilitates public education forums essential to strengthening the safety and well-being of Black and Minority Families. She is a dynamic public speaker who delivers educational content in schools, community youth programs, workshops, conferences, and various community spaces, both small and large. She collaborates with community stakeholders to connect literature with education to enhance literacy, critical thinking, empowerment, and understanding of complex issues that oppress Black and Minority communities.
In her recently published book, END, Incarceration of Black and Minority Youth, she shared lived experiences of the trauma that these youth encounter in communities and when incarcerated. She strongly believes in educating children and families about prevention and intervention before any child encounters the justice system.
She is an ardent community volunteer who mentors youth in diverse programs away from the criminal youth justice system to give them second chances to work toward their potential. She is a lifelong learner who enhances her knowledge while volunteering with many organizations as an advisor or a Board Director. She recently received the Lois Rice Lifetime Award in Community Volunteering
