Zuza Beine, a 14 year old influencer who inspired millions and bravely shared her struggle with the world, tragically passed away on September 22, 2025 after a long, brutal battle with cancer. Her journey with cancer began when she was just 3 years old, but despite her relentless illness she lived more fully and gratefully than most.
Social Media Star
Being a member of The Glow house, Zuza documented her life with cancer on TikTok and Instagram, having 5.1 followers altogether. Her viral videos sparked a legacy of resilience and motivation, inspiring her followers to live life to the fullest. Zuza was known as a source of positivity even through the ups and downs of her disease. “To know her was to know true joy. She had the rare gift of being able to make anyone smile, bring humor into every room, and always remind us not to take life too seriously. No matter what she was going through, Zuza kept a smile on her face, one that lit up every space she walked into.”
Her Cancer Journey
Zuza lived 11 out of her 14 years of life with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a cancer that affects the bone marrow. Despite her positive outlook on life and goal to help others she endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy, clinical trials and 3 bone marrow transplants. Zuza experienced several remissions throughout her battle, causing the cancer to become progressively stronger and harder to treat. Even through all of her struggles, Zuza was grateful, radiated joy everywhere she went and encouraged her followers to appreciate life.”
