She told theGrio.com’s Chris Witherspoon in 2015 her cancer diagnosis was the “toughest thing” she’s had to endure in her life, adding that it’s also been the “most rewarding.”
ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Vanessa De Luca described Lewellyn as a “breath of fresh air in springtime,” and commended her “bright spirit.” Lewellyn previously worked for the magazine as Accessories Editor in 2007.
