At the recent Parenting Media Association (PMA) awards ceremony, Sherida Mock, Editor of Austin Family Magazine, was presented with two awards for articles showcasing her writing. In awarding a Gold Award for Sherida’s November 2015 interview, “Coming Home,” the judges said, “This emotional interview explores the challenges and rewards that came with welcoming Zoe (a deaf girl) into the Rarus family.” Sherida also took home the Bronze in the Profile category for her May 2015 article, “Hearts Full of Grace.” About it, the judges wrote, “This story goes beyond the assignment. The writer finds a family who teaches readers how to deal with difficult loss in a thoughtful, reflective and positive way. Great choice of subject.” This is Sherida’s second year in a row to win at the PMA convention.
Congratulations, Sherida!
