Throwback: In Memory of Ananda Lewis

In Loving Memory of Ananda Lewis. We are deeply saddened that Ananda Lewis—television icon, mother, truth-teller, and fierce health advocate—has passed away. We were proud to have her join us on Black in the Garden as the Black media legend that she was, sharing her powerful story with grace, candor, and urgency. In her honor, we are re-releasing this episode in her memory. Ananda spoke openly about her breast cancer diagnosis and the challenges of navigating healthcare as a Black woman. This conversation is not only a tribute—it is a call to action. She used her voice to urge others, especially Black women, to take charge of their health through early detection, self-awareness, and advocacy. Let this episode serve as a reminder to make the appointment, ask the questions, and get the mammogram. Rest in power, Ananda. Your courage and brilliance continue to bloom in every listener you’ve touched. For more information, www.wabe.org/podcasts/blackinthegarden See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lastly, the Fulton County Board of Education will soon have to decide on the fate of Parklane Elementary in East Point and Spalding Drive Elementary in Sandy Springs.
