Dylan Berry anounces Wendy Babcock for Best Message Song/Social Impact at HIMAwards 2025 for “SHE WAS HERE”!

The song is a cinematic, emotional tribute that resonates deeply with themes of remembrance, empowerment, and healing. Wendy’s storytelling—rooted in lived experience and lyrical vulnerability—has carved space for soul-led creatives to feel seen and heard.

From her first trip to Hollywood to standing on stage at Avalon, Wendy’s journey is a testament to the power of purpose-driven music. Her gratitude and shock at the win only underscore the humility and heart behind her work.

Let’s celebrate this moment with the kind of love Wendy pours into her lyrics: “She was here. And because she was, we are changed.”

Wendy, thank you for showing up with courage, craft, and compassion. Your win is more than a trophy—it’s a ripple effect of impact. Keep writing. Keep singing. Keep healing the world, one soul story at a time.
