Remembering Zuza Beines

By Harper Kane 

Internet star, Zuza Beines, known for her “Get Ready with Me’s” as well as battling a high-risk acute myeloid leukemia since the age three years old has passed away at the age of fourteen from her battle with cancer. She fought this illness which returned multiple times, leading to needing treatments as well as a recent bone marrow transplant. According to her Instagram biography, she was a five-time cancer survivor and had three bone marrow transplants. She passed away on September 22, 2025. Her parents posted the next morning on her Instagram saying “It is with broken hearts that we share that Zuza died yesterday morning. She lived 11 of her 14 years with a relentless cancer yet lived more fully and gratefully than most.

What made her life so beautiful was how she learned to face the hardest circumstances, like her disease, and still “live fully”. Her most recent video only two days before her death showed just the kind of person she was while she shows off that despite battling cancer, that this experience has made her so grateful for the simple things in life despite battling this pain. She was a big figure in the glow house, a social media content house made to uplift girls, and she also was the youngest in this content house. Her main goal was to raise awareness on childhood cancer by showing the life of a teenage girl battling Leukemia. She shared her journey with 1.7 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million followers on Instagram. Multiple comments on her recent TikTok expressed their sadness with this news stating, “Rest in peace sweet girl” and close friend to Zuza, Samara, who was also a member alongside Zuza in the glow house states, “I love you so so so much.”
