  • Summary

  • Moni Basu is an award winning journalist who began her career in Florida with the Tallahassee Democrat and The Florida Flambeau. Basu worked for CNN for nine years, covering the Iraqi War from its inception. She wrote Chaplain Turner’s War from a series of Atlanta Journal-Constitution stories on an Army chaplain serving in Iraq. She also was a distinguished professor of practice in the University of Georgia’s narrative nonfiction MFA program.

    It's impossible to get someone’s story in just 90 minutes, however Moni was generous enough to share a condensed version of it with us.

    From her first day of life, when she was found on the steps of an orphanage in Calcutta, and adopted by a renowned mathematician and his wife, to growing up all over the world, and eventually becoming a journalist at the highest level, covering a range of stories, from reporting on the aftermath of devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal, to traveling with John Kerry's Presidential campaign, and being embedded with the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade during the Iraq war.

    Moni is a person who has, and does, overcome the "Buts" in her life on a daily basis.
