Damn, just so heartbreaking!
In another post, the star also announced the release of a clothing collection inspired by her daughter.
“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.”
She added that the MAMBACITA X DANNIJO tie-dye sweat set “celebrates Gigi’s spirit in every little detail.” Even more so, the El Lay native found the capsule fitting as the basketball player was “especially motivated to change the way everyone viewed women in sports.”
Vanessa then acknowledged how much their family “deeply appreciates the way the world continues to celebrate our sweet girl.” Ch-ch-check out the entire message (below):
