Our Story:

Honey Suckle Bush was born from the spirit of one remarkable woman—Dawn Norton

Dawn lived with a fierce passion for life, even when life didn’t make it easy. She endured abusive marriages, survived severe health struggles, and faced death more than once. But through it all, she remained a light—fiercely compassionate, honest, and unapologetically driven to do what was right.

Her favorite phrase?

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”

That’s exactly how she lived. She inspired those around her to take action, to care deeply, and to find joy wherever they could. Her resilience wasn’t just about surviving—it was about helping others thrive, too.

When Dawn passed, her youngest son, Charles Norton, couldn’t let her legacy fade. He created Honey Suckle Bush to carry on her mission: to empower others through compassion and community, and to help people rise from hardship with dignity and hope.
