Vanessa Bryant & Andy Bernstein sign MAMBA & MAMBACITA FOREVER

Join on January 3, 2026, at 2:00 pm as we welcome philathropist and to sign copies of , a beautiful and moving testament to the enduring life of Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Mentality. The book brings together the images and stories of more than a hundred murals honoring Vanessa's husband and daughter. Taken together, what emerges is the story of a man who became even more than he himself could have imagined, an avatar of determination, discipline, and competitiveness. He was also a worldwide icon, one of the greatest athletes of our time, a man committed to his family and to fatherhood. Kobe was a figure of transformation and hope. Mamba & Mambacita Forever ensures that the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant will live on even after the most monumental murals themselves have all crumbled.
