Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis broke her silence about the pressure she’s been under since indicting former President Trump and other co-defendants. Although she never mentioned his name nor the other attacks she’s endured, there was no doubt what her sermon was about.
Speaking before a friendly crowd of congregants at Big Bethel AME Church on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta, Willis referenced the heavy burden she feels as a black woman up against considerable opposition. She chose to speak not among politicians, but from the pulpit.
““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.
“We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”
She eluded to the fact that she, like all of us, has a God-given assignment. “See, we are all flawed, sinners, unworthy, imperfect, damaged, but we are qualified for His call.”
Willis has been attacked anew for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with one of her main attorneys on the Trump case.

This is not the first time Willis has spoken out amid the probe. Willis, speaking at a private fundraiser in Atlanta in honor of her 52nd birthday, she opened up on the many verbal attacks and racist threats she said she’s endured over the past couple of months.
Final Word
“If you commit yourself, God will turn your hard-headed self into the extraordinary for his Kingdom,” she said.
With 2024 being a presidential election year, it remains to be seen how the year will shape up for Willis, but not just her, America.
