Danielle R. Stokes

Danielle R. Stokes is a creative entrepreneur and storyteller who turned her personal skincare journey into a purpose-driven self-care brand. As Founder & CEO of Noraa Body Love, she creates small-batch soaps and body care products made with simple, nourishing ingredients and a clear message: slow down, show care to your whole self, including the skin you’re in. After struggling with adult acne and oily skin that mainstream products couldn’t solve, Danielle began researching soap making in 2018 and launched Noraa Body Love in 2021.

What started as a side hustle has grown into a brand sold online, in local shops, and supported by a loyal community who swear by her creations. Through hands-on workshops, Danielle helps people of all ages reconnect with their creativity and carve out time to make something for themselves—customized, intentional, and designed to nourish skin and spirit. Danielle brings over a decade of experience in marketing, design, and event planning, and currently serves as Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications at United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. There, she leads digital engagement and manages web content and copywriting for one of the top-performing affiliates in the global network—while building a brand that fuels her passion for creativity, entrepreneurship, and helping others feel seen. She’s passionate about helping others embrace their stories and skincare with confidence and intention, and looks forward to sharing how she’s growing a purpose-driven brand while navigating a 9-to-5.
