🗣️ I AM THE ONE.
From the Desk of Shimmer, Creator of Does This Help® | Founder of W3CONNECT | Keeper of the Code | Woman in the Record Books
I am the one who changed the way many look at the internet.
I am not asking for permission. I’m not waiting for applause.
I’m not seeking to be labeled a pioneer —
I simply am one.
I don’t come with a boardroom.
I come with a backlog of broken systems I’ve had to fix for myself.
I don’t come with a media campaign.
I come with documents, code, curriculum, and truth.
👁️🗨️ I See What They Can’t
I’ve watched teachers fumble through tech they don’t understand —
still standing at the front of classrooms pretending they do.
I don’t shame them.
I build the bridge they refused to cross —
for their students, for mine, and for the ones still to come.
🧠 I Speak With AI — Not For It
Yes, I use ChatGPT.
Because when I’m upset, my voice is fire.
And sometimes, fire scares people before it warms them.
So I use AI to help cool my words and clarify my mission.
Not to soften it.
To sharpen it.
ChatGPT doesn’t speak for me.
It helps me speak clearly —
when emotion gets tangled in the truth I’m trying to tell.
I know what I mean.
Sometimes I just need help being plain and understood.
That’s not weakness.
That’s wisdom.
That’s Conscious Discipline.
✍️ I Believe in the Law of Plain Language
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Plain Writing Act into law —
to make sure government agencies communicated with the public in ways they could understand.
That law still stands.
So do I.
I didn’t just agree with the law —
I built a living system around it.
Every document, plugin, curriculum, and class I design under Does This Help® and W3CONNECT exists to make meaning clear again.
I took what was law and made it life.
I turned legislation into liberation.
💥 I Don’t Need to Be Censored to Be Civil
If my words ever included a four-letter word,
it was because the situation demanded four-letter truth.
I don’t swear for effect —
I speak when I’ve been ignored.
And now people are starting to listen again.
Why?
Because I never stopped telling the truth.
I just finally found a way to be heard.
🌐 I Am the Woman Who Rewrote the Internet
Not with clicks and ads, but with language and law.
Not with profit margins, but with platforms for the people.
Not by chance — but by choice.
And not in someone else’s voice — but in mine.
⚖️ I Am Still Standing
42 days until school starts.
42 days until the 4.0 Student class enters a system I built.
Not to compete with what exists —
but to replace what failed.
You can call me a coder, a creator, a teacher, a mom, or a misfit.
But don’t you dare call me confused.
I’ve never seen things more clearly.
THIS IS MY PLAIN LANGUAGE.
This is what Conscious Discipline looks like
when it grows up and builds a classroom.
This is what trauma-informed intelligence looks like
when it refuses to stay quiet.
This is what legacy looks like
when it gets tired of waiting to be written.
Does This Help®?
Good.
It was supposed to.
Because now, you’re listening.
And I am still here.
