In a social media post, Vanessa also explained why she chose to help open a court dedicated to her late family members. "I chose this location so that young people in this community may have a safe space to play with equal opportunity which was important to Kobe and Gianna," she mentioned and continued, "We are grateful to the City of Philadelphia, @muralarts for welcoming this project and helping to make it a reality."
