Made a Career Comeback in 2013

After a thirteen-year hiatus, Rogers made her comeback in 2013 and landed the starring role of Lynda Merritt in the 2013 biographical short film, Beyond Merritt. 

Based on the real-life Lynda Merritt, the drama short revolves around the cocaine-addicted single mother who is faced with the choice of either getting sober or lose her sons forever.

Being a mother in real life, Rogers felt the character was emotionally resonant and said as much in her interview with CiCi Foster:

“Lynda Merritt’s life resonated with me because she is a strong woman who has overcome so much adversity. She is one of my heroes. What really made me interested in doing the film is that the script was very well-written and the role was very challenging. The film’s message is to never loose hope. No matter what goes on in your life, you can break free and move forward,”
