Zuza Beine, a beloved member of the Glow House – a content creation group on TikTok tragically passed away in her sleep on September 22, 2025.
Zuza was diagnosed with a relentless form of Leukemia at age three and continued to battle cancer for 11 years. Zuza was able to beat cancer five times through her journey which shaped a lot of her content, she first came into the spotlight with her social media (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram etc.) with her account “zuzas_way_to_healing” because of her positive and inspiring content regarding her health and life in general. Zuza typically posted “get ready with me” videos, review content, “day in the life” videos and more light and enjoyable content.
Later, Zuza became involved in collaborating with other teen influencers and created a strong bond with many of them, especially 18 year old, Samara Boulter. They sparked a strong friendship through the Glow House, which was heartwarming to see because many rumors were brewing that the other members of the house would use Zuza for “clout” and put her down behind her back due to her appearance and thinning hair. The online community also had delivered hate towards Zuza.
Unfortunately, Zuza faced lots of adversity due to her physical appearance, she was a very small girl because of her constant battle with cancer. Online haters would make fun of her and put her down, saying she was too open about her cancer and that she talked about it too much. Zuza ignored the haters and decided to continue showing the world her struggles and how hard she fought everyday in spite of her haters.
Although Zuza had been avidly battling cancer, the death still came as a shock to the online community. She had remained in the public eye and had continued to post TikToks up until the day before she passed. Her story inspired many fighting their own battles and touched many other hearts.
Currently, the internet is grieving the loss of Zuza. Not only are creators from the Glow House posting, but also countless creators who have either watched her videos or had small interactions with her are posting their condolences to her family as well as recognizing her impact and what an inspiring figure she was.
Despite this tragic loss to the world, as a community we can look back and remember the positive impact Zuza had on millions of people! Zuza has inspired many to be their best every day. Zuza will be missed but remembered for years to come for her inspiration and gratitude for life!
