In 2007, along with my hubby Jim Rogers, I left New York City behind for Singapore, since we saw Asia as the future – and we still believe this! Today, as a patron, board member, and fundraiser for numerous organisations, including United Women Singapore, Asian Civilization Museum, and Singapore Dance Theatre, I enthusiastically support local fashion/design/jewelry/art. A graduate gemologist through the Gemological Institute of America, I’m also a former columnist for The Straits Times, and creator and host of “Pass the Power with Paige Parker” podcast, which shares Conversations of Hope with today’s thought-leaders. At the turn of the millennium, with Jim – the ultimate adventurer, I spent three years driving around the world, gaining a Guinness World Record. This led to my best-selling memoir Don’t Call Me Mrs. Rogers, detailing the epic circumnavigation, as well as my own personal evolution, while shining light on the courageous, resourceful women I met from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe. My travels led me to be a member of both the Circumnavigator’s Club and The Explorers Club. As a Nas Academy Metapurse Crypto Creator Fellow, I adore creating empowering content on Instagram and TikTok (@iampaigeparker), and I even offer an online class called “Live Your Best Life” with Nas Academy. Jim and I are proud parents to daughters Bee, 14, and Hilton, 18. A self-professed Tame Tiger mom, I am an advocate for parents to encourage their children’s strengths, not push on everything! I welcome messages and comments, because I’m inspired by you.
