Natalia Bryant is keeping her dad Kobe Bryant‘s legacy in mind.
After all, the model—who is the oldest daughter of the late Los Angeles Lakers legend and Vanessa Bryant—says she walks through life with the “mamba mentality,” a tenet focused on self-improvement taken from Kobe’s Black Mamaba nickname.
“Mamba mentality is about constantly trying to be the best version of yourself,” she told Elle in an interview published Oct. 11. “It’s putting your best foot forward at all times regardless of all the noise. I want to make sure that mentality stays intact, because it can be so easy to give up on yourself when things get tough. You have to remind yourself that with positivity and resilience you can do anything.”
And in tough times, the 20-year-old said she focuses her energy “on the things that bring me happiness,” including spending time with mom Vanessa, 41, and younger sisters Bianka, 6, and Capri, 4.
