Vanessa Bryant wished her late daughter, Gianna, a happy 15th birthday via Instagram with a series of loving posts.
“Dear Gianna, Happy 15th Birthday! ❤️😘I love you!,” she wrote under a photo of her and younger GiGi. “I miss you everyday! I wish you were here with us. There are no words to express how much I miss you. I love you Mamacita!”
In her second post, she announced that she was keeping her daughter’s legacy alive with a new clothing line in her honor named Mambacita. Bryant along with her other daughters, 18-year-old Natalia, four-year-old Bianka and one-year-old Capri, modeled the tie-dye sweat suits from the clothing line and announced that all the proceeds from the Mambacita will go to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.
When I thought about how best to celebrate Gianna’s birthday with so many who loved her, I knew it had to be a combination of sharing her bright and fun personality with her sense of purpose and passion that would help make a difference in this world.
Gianna was kind, energetic, a leader, and had so much MAMBACITA swag. When I thought about who would help me capture her laid back yet girly-edge, I thought of female-owned @DANNIJO. Two fun-loving sisters running a successful clothing line, they jumped on the opportunity to celebrate Gigi’s birthday with us, completely pro-bono.
I am so proud of the limited-edition MAMBACITA x DANNIJO tie-dye sweat set capsule collection, which celebrates Gigi’s spirit in every little detail – even the placement of #PlayGigisWay on the right arm of each hoodie– her shooting arm.
But what Gigi would love most about the Collection is that 100% of the proceeds will support the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, which is dedicated to creating positive impact for underserved athletes and young women in sports.
