“Especially complete college too.”

“He was just like the best girl dad ever,” she said.

It was so much fun.”

“I love talking about my dad,” she toldTeen Vogue.

“It’s bittersweet, but I enjoy talking about him more than it’s sad for me.”

This is something Bryant often does with her younger siblings, Bianka and Capri.

“You do the best that you might,” she said.

“[For] my little sisters [we’re] trying to keep that memory for them.

And also just trying to remember to live out every day the way they would.”

“It’s just so relaxing to me,” she said.

“You get space … you get to clear your mind, and you don’t think about anything.

You think about what you’re doing in the moment.

It’s about being present.

Which I love.”
