An award-winning journalist, essayist and educator with three decades of experience reporting for newspapers, I have written extensively about war, politics and mental health. My assignments have taken me to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central America and the White House. Many of my stories are about trauma and resilience. Find them in Smithsonian magazine, Oxford American, Task & Purpose, The Bitter Southerner, The War Horse, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Richmond Times-Dispatch, USA Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse. My writing has been recognized by The New York Times, "Best American Essays" and Longreads.com. I teach for the University of Missouri Journalism School and am a 2022 Ochberg Fellow with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma. I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees in English from George Mason University. And in 2019, I completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in narrative nonfiction writing at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Raquel Durden, who was named Georgia Woman Veteran of the Year, rode in the Georgia Veterans Day Parade in Midtown Atlanta on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025. In 2018, the Bogart resident cofounded a nonprofit for female veterans and first responders called Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga. It brings them together for walks, workshops and retreats, helping them form friendships, avoid isolation and practice mindfulness. “God just picked me up,” said Durden, a cancer survivor, “and put me on a different path.” (Ben Gray for the AJC)
