E pena ana ʻo Norris i nā kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ma kahi kokoke i ka Montbello Student Campus, kahi i waena o ka poʻe e noho ana a hana i ka moku.
Ua kauoha ʻo WESTAF i ka hana ʻana i ke kiʻi kiʻi e pili ana i ka Women's Suffrage e hōʻailona i ka haneli o ka huakaʻi lōʻihi he mau ʻumi makahiki, ʻo ia ka hopena o ke kānāwai ʻāina i hāʻawi i nā wahine i ke kuleana koho. Ua loaʻa ka papahana ma o ka hāʻawi manawaleʻa mai ka National Endowment for the Arts a me ka Federal Women's Suffrage Centennial Commission.
Ma ke ʻano he kanaka hoihoi e pili ana i nā wahine i ka mōʻaukala, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Norris, "Ua hauʻoli wau e hana i kēia mural no WESTAF e hōʻike i ke koʻikoʻi o nā kuleana koho wahine, ʻaʻole wale ma ka pae aupuni, akā ma ka ʻāina pū kekahi. Manaʻo wau i ka hana pū me nā hale waihona puke, nā mea kākau moʻolelo, a me nā lālā o ke kaiāulu e hoʻokō i kēia papahana. Ua noho ʻo Norris ma Denver mai 2005 ma hope o ka lawelawe ʻana i ka Marines. ʻOiai ua neʻe kona ʻohana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kona mau makahiki ʻelima, ua hānau ʻia ʻo Norris ma Barbados.
Ua kaʻana like ʻo Norris i kāna hana a me kāna makemake me ka ʻōpio i loko a i waho o Denver. Ma ke ʻano he mea hana kiʻi aʻo me Think 360 Arts, ua hana ʻo Norris me Youth Seen, kahi hui e kālele ana i ke kōkua ʻana i nā ʻōpio LGBTQ+ a me nā ʻohana kala e ʻike a lohe ʻia. Ke hoʻohana nei ʻo ia i kāna mau kiʻi pena i mea hoʻonaʻauao e aʻo ai i nā haumāna o nā makahiki āpau e pili ana i nā wahine i ka mōʻaukala a me ka mana o ka ʻokoʻa, manaʻo ʻo Norris e mālama i nā moʻolelo o kēia mau wahine nui.
ʻO nā pahuhopu mua o ka papahana ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā mea hana i lawe ʻia i nā hiʻohiʻona o kēia wā i ke aupuni lehulehu. E lilo ana kēia papahana ma ke ʻano he kahua no ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana ma o ka hoʻokō ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā ʻike maka a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai hoʻomohala kūloko i ka hoʻomohala ʻana, ka hana ʻana, ka hoʻokomo ʻana, a me ka mālama ʻana i ka papahana.
