Founder Biography
Preserving Heritage, Inspiring Communities

Norma Jacqueline Gregory was born in Nottingham, England, UK, in 1969. She sought self-development by acquiring knowledge through her love of education, literature, the creative arts, photography, media production and in particular, African and Caribbean UK history.

Norma is an active and successful museum consultant and educator. She is the director and founder of Nottingham News Centre (UK), a social enterprise founded in 2013 that serves the community through training and media production. 

Norma Gregory completed many years of mentoring and teaching employment in various schools and higher education institutions across London and Nottingham, which encouraged her to pursue her goals of personal and professional autonomy as an museum educator, author, speaker and heritage media producer.

She is an honoured recipient of the Alumni Laureate Award in 2017 and Doctor of Letters (DLitt) from the University of Nottingham, UK, for her dedication to the heritage sector and community education, through heritage.

With many years’ experience in educational and media settings, Norma says, “I relish opportunities for others to progress by supporting global heritage and museum development through my values, vision and mission of museums and heritage education for everyone. Always”
