Rest in power, Ananda 🌹

#AnandaLewis, one of the original MTV VJs and host of BET’s Teen Sunmmit, has sadly passed away after a courageous battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

Ananda first shared her diagnosis in 2020, revealing she had been privately battling the disease since 2018. She chose a path of healing that aligned with her values-opting out of a mastectomy and instead focusing on homeopathic remedies, medication, radiation, rest, and nutrition.

A beloved cultural icon, Ananda helped shape an era of music television, introducing countless fans to the videos and artists that defined a generation.

Her presence, voice, and spirit will be deeply missed-but never forgotten.
