Ayesha Curry (née Alexander; born 23 March 1989) is a Canadian–American celebrity cook, cookbook author, television personality, businesswoman, model and actress. Her cooking career started in 2014, when she began to present cooking demonstrations on her YouTube channel Little Lights of Mine. In 2016, she collaborated with chef Michael Mina on the Bay Area pop-up restaurant International Smoke at The Mina Test Kitchen. In the second half of 2016, she released her cookbook The Seasoned Life and debuted her cooking show Ayesha's Homemade.

Career

At age 12, Curry appeared in the music video for "Too Young for Love" by Suga Prince (now known as Sevn Thomas), acting as his love interest.

Prior to her marriage to Stephen Curry, Curry was an actress, known for Underground Street Flippers (2009), Dan's Detour of Life (2008) and Love for Sale (2008) and other guest roles in several television shows. More recently, she has become a presenter of cooking and lifestyle tips, first on her own YouTube channel and later on her Food Networkshow Ayesha's Homemade. Her company Little Lights of Mine sells its own brand of extra virgin olive oil with 10% of all proceeds going to help No Kid Hungry. In addition to her written recipes, Curry often posts instructional cooking videos on her YouTube channel.

According to VarietyAyesha’s Homemade will focus not just on Curry’s recipes, but her life as a wife and mother, with plenty of cameos from her husband and two daughters.

Personal life

Both of Curry's parents are biracial; her mother is of African/Chinese Jamaican descent, while her father is of Polish/African American descent.[ Born in Toronto, she was raised there until the age of 14, when she moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.

On July 30, 2011, she married NBA player Stephen Curry in Charlotte. The two had met in a church youth group when they were 15 and 14. Together, they have two daughters, Riley (b. 2012) and Ryan (b. 2015). They currently reside in Bay Area, California.

Controversy

Curry took to Twitter to have a conversation about modesty as she discussed the latest fashion trends among women. She tweeted out the following: "Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like Just looking at the latest fashion trends. I'll take classy over trendy any day of the week. #saturdaynightinsight"

In June 2016, Curry was heckled by many Cleveland Cavaliers fans, after Game 6 of the NBA Finals ending in a win for the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Golden State Warriors Curry was not too happy about it. When Steph Curry was ejected from the game, Ayesha took to Twitter to vent her frustrations:  Ayesha Curry’s deleted tweet accusing the NBA of being rigged. The comment, which was widely publicized both in the traditional media, and the blogosphere, caused a media stir.
