Hi, I’m Norma Joyce Dougherty
Norma Joyce Dougherty (pronounced DOCK-ER-TY) is a spirited and commanding speaker with a warm and engaging presence.
On stage, she carries listeners over many yellow brick roads to share her fairytale life and spiritual adventures to find the place her heart calls “home.”
Norma Joyce speaks passionately about fostering the TOTAL woman’s personal identity through BODY, MIND, and SPIRITUAL development.
In a culture where women find themselves overwhelmed with choices and oversold by direct marketing campaigns, Norma Joyce helps women in crisis move past their guilt, shame, and loneliness to find their true identity in Jesus.
“Norma Joyce Dougherty shines a
light on what is real.”
– Melvin F. Graham

“Jesus has indeed redeemed the brokenness of your past and made something so beautiful.”

Norma Joyce’s life wasn’t always glitz and glamour!
Born in Prince Edward Island, Canada Norma Joyce Dougherty is an inspirational speaker, an award-winning author, a leader of women’s Bible study groups, and a mentor to young women.
However, this hasn’t always been Norma Joyce’s life. As a young woman and beauty queen, Norma Joyce experienced the glitz and glamour that society promotes. She is a former Miss Dominion of Canada, a participant in Miss World, Miss Universe, Queen of the Pacific, and semi-finalist in Miss International.
For this poor farm girl, beauty represented an escape to a better life. But, all that glitters is not gold. Struggling with many of the same issues that women in crisis deal with every day, she overcame her own identity issues by finding joy and contentment in God’s purpose for her life.
