Nurse turned AI translator. Military spouse. Mom of 4.
I taught myself to read at 25. Now I teach women like you how to use AI in plain English, because I know what it feels like when nobody explains things in a way that makes sense for YOUR brain.
I was twenty-five. A nurse working in a surgical oncology office in Washington DC.
One morning I picked up the free newspaper they handed out at the Metro station. I couldn't make it past two paragraphs. I kept rereading and rereading, and I didn't understand anything.
That night I sat down with a highlighter and marked every word I couldn't understand. Every word I didn't know how to pronounce.
When I looked at that newspaper afterward, it was almost entirely yellow.
I was functionally illiterate at twenty-five years old. Nobody caught it. I just assumed I was dumb.
"I was not dumb. I was just missing the translation."
So I picked up that same newspaper every single morning. Highlighted every word I didn't know. Looked up every single one in the dictionary before bed.
Five days a week. Fifty-two weeks.
By the end of that year, I needed the dictionary less and less. At thirty, I read my first book for pleasure and cried the whole way through.
That is exactly why I will never teach AI like it's only for people who already get it.
Because if someone had handed me a textbook and said "figure it out," I would still think I was dumb.
But someone showed me how to ask the right questions. In language I could actually understand.
And that is what this series does for you.
AI is your newspaper. I'm your translator.
You were always smart enough. You just needed someone who teaches like you learn.
