In this episode of the W.W.A.A. Podcast, the host Kristy Mickelsen Talks with her special guest author, Norma Davis. 

Norma Davis is a U.S. Army veteran and very proud of it. Norma was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1963 to Denise B. Swilley and Fred Davis Jr. When Norma's father died in 1968 Norma's mother took on the biggest fight for her daughter and all children all over the world. Norma wanted to live up to her name by showing her mother and the world that she was worthy to be called legitimate even when told by the world she was not. Norma decided to join the army and when she did, she found out that sisterhood and brotherhood could take a dirty turn. Norma found out the hard way when a female soldier helped a male soldier rape her.  Norma didn't stop living though. She went on to tell her story and to help advocate for other Veterans, and she is also a screenwriter for films and documentaries. 

You can find her memoir Surviving The Military on Amazon and other online Retailers and you can follow her on Facebook and Instagram.
