Shannon's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized how powerful it is for building and solving real-world problems. I started noticing how websites, apps, and even small tools could transform businesses, make life easier, and reach people globally. As I became more involved in my own projects — like SilkySway — I wanted to take control of the digital side instead of depending on others. That curiosity turned into a passion. I wanted to know how things worked behind the scenes and learn how to build them myself.

🙋‍♀️ Shannon's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is to gain independence, creativity, and better career opportunities. I've always admired beautiful websites and smart apps, and I want to be able to build those myself — not just dream about them. Learning with SheCodes feels empowering because it’s a space designed for women like me, where I can grow in confidence while gaining practical tech skills. Ultimately, I want to use coding to bring my ideas to life, whether it's launching a business, freelancing, or building tools that help others.

🤹‍♀️ Shannon's Hobbies

I love being creative and hands-on! I enjoy making DIY haircare products for my brand SilkySway — it's a mix of science, beauty, and fun. I also like designing content, exploring new ideas for small businesses, and learning how to improve my website. When I’m not in work mode, I enjoy music, dancing around with my kids, watching a good series, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of rooibos tea.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
