PHAEDRA ROGERS
WRITER, “BUILDING A SILVER LINING,” PAGE 42
Phaedra Rogers is a native Texan and Austin freelancer who writes about a variety of things, but has a soft spot for writing about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. She’s been freelancing for the past 17 years while embracing a few cross-country moves with her husband and three daughters. Those changes of scenery and exposure to new faces propelled her belief that everyone has an interesting story to share, no matter how cliché that may sound. “I’d like to have a combo superpower: cloning and teleporting my selves. That way, I could be in all the places I need to be simultaneously while also evading Austin traffic.”
