We’ll soon be opening up nominations for the 2025 edition of the Memphis Flyer’s 20<30. Every year we honor the best and brightest young people Memphis has to offer, thanks to our readers and staff nominations. We’ve had some exceptional honorees in the past, and are looking forward to a new crop of Memphis talent. (GloRilla, call us!)
One of our alumna from 2011 has made a name for herself. When I revisited some of our past winners for Memphis Magazine in 2019, I caught up with Audra Barr Watt, who already had successful career as a health care executive and was the mother of two young boys, Nolan and Isaac. Nowadays, Audra’s career has taken her to the Nashville area, where she’s pursuing her musical ambitions. She just released her first music video.
“The chance to capture the bittersweet journey of watching my sons grow up in ‘Bullet Trains’ was incredible,” she says. ‘In just four minues, this video takes me from the anxious excited of pregnacy through the chaos of toddler years, school days, and into a glimpse of their future as they move out on their own.”
Directed by William Gawley. the video has already accumulated more than 23,000 views on YouTube. “I’m grateful to those who encouraged me to share it with the world, and I’m humbled by how many people have connected with it, especially during this time of year, when kids are going back to school.”
