The political situation in our country often sends me running from the news. I opt to set my minds on other matters and try not to think about the 2024 presidential race. The possible outcome is terrifying and sickening, and I tend to avert my eyes, at least for the time being.
You know who doesn’t run? Fulton County DA Fani T. Willis. She is the first woman to hold the office. She is a 52-year-old Black woman who has led the two-and-half year investigation into the actions of Trump and 18 others in their efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia.
They have all been indicted. Trump verbally attacks Willis and has called her racist. She receives death threats and requires security at her office and home. She orders her employees to ignore Trump’s attack ads and any that will come their way, reminding them that “This is business, it will never be personal.”
This is the kind of person I look to when I’m feeling a lack of courage to face life’s challenges head on.
