Vanessa Bryant is on a mission to keep the memory of Kobe and their daughter Gigi, alive. Just shy of six years after the tragic helicopter crash that took their lives, Vanessa is releasing a book in their honor. Mamba and Mamacita Forever pairs stories with images of more than 100 murals of them, from around the world. One of Vanessa’s favorite murals is of Kobe holding Gigi, after winning a championship. She’s got her hand on his cheek and they’re smiling, as they stare into each others eyes. Vanessa says, “It’s a sweet moment between Gigi and her daddy, not Kobe Bryant, but daddy.” Mamba and Mamacita Forever drops November 18.
