AYESHA CURRY
Curry Cuisine
Having made Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2017, chef personality Ayesha Curry is building an empire while wearing a variety of hats - a chef ’s hat was one of her first. She now has a best-selling cookbook “The Seasoned Life,” and has checked off a lot of boxes in her very ambitious career: author, owner of a meal kit company, purveyor of eponymous kitchenware line; she’s turned her pop-up barbeque restaurant concept “International Smoke” into a permanent fixture in Honolulu, Houston and San Francisco. Other locations are in the works. Ayesha is always on the go and wouldn’t have it any other way. The tipping point for Ayesha’s career was over bottles of olive oil. She decided to sell olive oil on her blog, and as she spread the word on social media, she received over 200 orders within 48 hours. She was literally wrapping and shipping each order herself in her living room. She finds the time to raise two beautiful children, daughters Riley, 5, and Ryan, 2, while currently expecting her third. She’s married to basketball player Stephen Curry, but this
Canadian-born beauty is not your ordinary NBA wife. Bay Area-beloved Ayesha is also known for her cocktail making. This year, although she could not consume any of her own delicious Warriors cocktails, she helped her husband and the the Golden State Warriors team celebrate their third NBA Championship. Her excitement for bringing family together through her cooking is her most treasured. Her passion for cooking evolved into a book and now a culinary career. Among the many charities she supports, Ayesha is an ambassador for No Kid Hungry, an organization working to end childhood hunger. She is also a contributing partner to Team FNV, an initiative spearheaded by Michelle Obama that aims to promote a healthy lifestyle by incorporating more fruits and vegetables into the diet. This superwoman is building an empire that will leave a lasting legacy as an influencer in many aspects of life and career.
