Natalia Bryant is the eldest daughter of late Kobe and widowed Vanessa Bryant. As she approaches her second year at the University of Southern California, how does she manage to be a normal college student? From appearances in Vogue to strutting the runway at the Met Gala, she is anything but ordinary. Her freshman year roommate was Euphoria star, Storm Reid. It is challenging for her to go anywhere without being recognized.
In recent news, Natalia’s mother won a case against Los Angeles County concerning photographs of Kobe and her sister, Gianna, who both tragically passed in January of 2020. The sheriff’s office leaked images of their fatal helicopter accident. Natalia confidently supported her mother at court as she testified about how these images have haunted their family for over two years as they have been trying to grieve and heal. The lawsuit awarded Vanessa $16 million, which she has pledged to donate to the nonprofit, Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, created in honor of Kobe and Gianna’s passing.
Most college students probably spent their summers working an internship or traveling with friends, while Natalia had to support her mother in such a significant trial. Nothing about her life is normal but attending college and working towards a degree allows her to feel a little more ordinary. She is majoring in Film which may take her career to a new level in the future.
With all the hardships and challenges Natalia has faced, she has continuously presented herself with class while always being watched by the world. At only 19 years old, she has dealt with much more than most people in their entire lifetime. Natalia Bryant is an inspiration to all; at the end of the day, she is just an average college student!
