This video is “Glory” with the lyrics. An absolute brilliant collaboration of talent, flawlessly beautiful, this song will be an anthem.

    Me too. I play it every time that I login.
    
    It has always been interesting to me that sometimes music can speak to people when everything else has failed. This is that kind of song.

Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.
