Gianna and Kobe Bryant passing away still feels so fresh. However, more than a year has passed since the legendary basketball player and his 14-year old daughter tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash. However, their energy has inspired thousands of Kobe fans across the world. They also continue to inspire the people they left behind, like Kobe’s wife and Gianna’s mother, Vanessa Bryant.

Vanessa has been fighting hard to make sure that Kobe is remembered correctly. She has spoken against people using Kobe’s name to make articles and wants him to be remembered the right way.

Her year-long battle with losing her husband and daughter was covered by PEOPLE magazine as their latest cover story. Vannessa spoke about how she deals with the loss of Kobe and Gigi.

“I guess the best way to describe it is that Kobe and Gigi motivate me to keep going. They inspire me to try harder and be better every day. Their love is unconditional and they motivate me in so many different ways.”

She added, “My girls help me smile through the pain. They give me strength. I want to make Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri proud.”
