Ayesha Curry loves everything that comes from her marriage to Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, including the challenges of being a celebrity. However, living in the shadow of her husband is not an easy thing to do.

In the eyes of Stephen Curry, Ayesha is more than just his wife. She is an extremely talented chef, actress, and businesswoman. Unfortunately, not everyone views Ayesha through the same lens that her husband does.
Ayesha asserts that some of the business opportunities that she has been presented with have been courtesy of Steph. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t have to put in the hard work.
“Parts of it have afforded me doors to be open,” Ayesha said on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “I obviously have to walk through them and then put in the work to stay in the room. I’m grateful for that side of things.”
Ayesha thrives on being independent, which is evident in the countless business deals she has managed to seal on her own. Unfortunately, as it often happens with successful women, people don’t always give them the credit that they deserve.
“I think people just don’t realize that there is a life outside of where we are now in our adulthood,” Ayesha proclaimed. “I think people can’t see past the surface.”
Although she might not be able to fix this societal outlook, Ayesha hasn’t allowed that to ruin her ambitions. The 36-year-old continues to pursue her passions in all areas of business and does so unapologetically. “It s**** so bad, but I’m going to keep trying,” Ayesha revealed.
Ayesha has slowly but surely rewritten the narrative that people have unjustly woven around her when it comes to her career. She has launched a plethora of cookbooks using her expertise in the culinary arts. Ayesha also opened a restaurant called International Smoke in Las Vegas in 2017. While the Vegas outlet was shut earlier this year, the one in San Francisco is considered a must-visit for those seeking great steaks.
She also featured in a 2024 film, Irish Wish, starring Lindsey Lohan. It’s also worth mentioning that in 2020, Ayesha started a skin care company, Sweet July, to add to her ever-growing portfolio.
These are just glimpses of the work Ayesha Curry has put in, building her business career. There are many other businesses she dabbles in, which most people haven’t heard of because they aren’t that mainstream.
So, it’s high time Ayesha gets credit for the work she does and is not just recognized as Stephen Curry’s wife.
