Summer Walker has never needed to shout to be heard—and with “Heart of a Woman,” she let the music speak volumes. At the 2025 BET Awards, the R&B songstress earned the BET Her Award, honoring music that uplifts, empowers, and resonates deeply with Black women.

The track, released earlier this year as a standalone single, is vintage Summer: raw vocals, stripped-down production, and lyrics that cut with grace. “Heart of a Woman” isn’t just a song—it’s a mantra for every woman who’s loved too hard, given too much, and still found the strength to keep going.

With this win, she joins the ranks of past recipients who’ve used their art to speak directly to the experience of Black womanhood. In a culture that often demands we be strong 24/7, Summer’s music gives space to be vulnerable—and that’s revolutionary in itself.
