The Women behind the Warriors

Ayesha Curry

Far too often, athletes’ significant others are put into a box. Their value is perceived as only exclusive to how she relates to her husband. They are relegated to the sidelines.

Curry is building her own empire. She’s taking over the social media and culinary world. In just the last few months, she’s become a New York Times Best-Seller and has her own TV show on the Food Network.

She’s becoming a brand and doing it her own way. She’s done it on YouTube and on a blog. She’s now on bookshelves and television. In addition to that, she’s sold her own olive oil and helped design moccasins for children.

Curry has become a savvy businesswoman, taking advantage of all the opportunities presented to her. She’s handled the spotlight with grace (excluding one minor slip up). It’s not easy raising two children while living under a microscope as your husband goes to work sometimes thousands of miles away.

She’s become an influential figure in the year 2016. She’s handled scrutiny and the negativity and fetishization surrounding her two daughters perfectly. What’s most impressive is that Curry has somehow found time to also create her own business while raising a family.

She uses her platform to spread positivity. She’s utilized a variety of mediums to express herself creatively, sharing her passions with the world.
