Life coach Iyanla Vanzant has announced the passing of her youngest daughter, Nisa. The television personality shared the unfortunate news via her Instagram, requesting privacy as she and her family process the loss.
“It is with great sorrow that we announce the transition of Nisa Vanzant, the youngest daughter of our Beloved Iyanla Vanzant we are asking for your prayers,” stated the post written by a member of Vanzant’s team. “Please respect the privacy of her and her family at this time. Thank you.”
Vanzant is an advocate for spiritual healing, getting her start on the radio before eventually guest appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show. This led to her signature docu-series on the media mogul’s channel OWN.
Nisa will be remembered by her mother and brother, Damon. She was 29 years old, with the cause of death being unknown publicly at this time.
While this latest loss is heartbreaking, Vanzant is more than understanding of how life is all about the experience of love that a mother can have for her child,
“In relationships, people don’t bring you love or give you love. What they do is make you aware of the depth of love that you are.”
