After guest roles in several television shows and movies, she began hosting her own show, ''Ayesha's Homemade''(<abbr>a.k.a.</abbr> ''Ayesha's Home Kitchen''), on Food Network. Despite not having any professional chef training, her culinary career started in 2014, when she prepared her first meal as a YouTube demonstration on her channel ''Little Lights of Mine''. Curry is the author of several videos on her channel Little Lights of Mine and has written one cookbook ''The Seasoned Life'' published in 2016.

==Trivia==
  
−
The Golden State Warriors guard met his beautiful wife when the two were teenagers in Charlotte, N.C. Both of their families attended the Central Church of God and used to joke about how cute the two looked together, even though they were initially too shy to make a love connection.
  
   
  +
== Career ==
−
Stephen Curry married Ayesha Alexander on July 30, 2011. Although they wed in Charlotte, where some 420 friends and family members were on hand for the celebration, the couple owes its marriage to another city: Los Angeles. It was there that Curry, attending basketball camp while still a student at Davidson College, reconnected with Ayesha on Facebook. She was on the West Coast to pursue her acting career—she’s appeared on the series Whittaker Bay, as well as Hannah Montana—and before long, they began dating.
  
  +
At age 12, Curry acted as the love interest in the music video for "Too Young for Love" by Suga Prince (now known as Sevn Thomas).
   
  +
After graduating from Weddington High School, Curry moved to Los Angeles to become an actress, appearing in mostly in bit parts. She was in a film short ''Underground Street Flippers'' (2009), The TV movie ''Dan's Detour of Life'' (2008), was Girl #1 in the direct to DVD movie ''Love for Sale'' (2008).<sup>[4]</sup> After her marriage she started a food blog, and then a YouTube channel. This lead to a short lived Food Network show ''Ayesha's Homemade'' that was canceled after 13 episodes.<sup>[5]</sup> Her company Little Lights of Mine sells its own brand of extra virgin olive oil, and 10% of all proceeds are donated to the charity No Kid Hungry.<sup>[6]</sup> In addition to her written recipes, Curry often posts instructional cooking videos on her YouTube channel. She first gained an interest in cooking at a young age. With her mother operating a salon in the basement of their home, Curry would watch as her babysitter cooked Trinidadian curry and roti and brought it down to customers.
−
Stephen Curry proposed to Ayesha Alexander in 2009, after he’d led the Davidson Wildcats to an “Elite 8” appearance in the NCAA Tournament and opted to go pro. He popped the question in his parents’ driveway, the scene of the couple’s first kiss. After the wedding, Curry and Alexander honeymooned in Bora Bora, and upon returning, Alexander set about earning a business degree online.
  
   
  +
In 2016, Curry collaborated with chef Michael Mina in The Mina Test Kitchen of International Smoke, a Bay Area pop-up restaurant, and released her cookbook "The Seasoned Life." She also began starring in ''Ayesha's Homemade'', which follows her professional and personal life with cameos from her husband and two daughters. The first season ran for six episodes. A second season of six episodes, named ''Ayesha's Home Kitchen'' premiered on Food Network in April 30, 2017.
−
Curry, meanwhile, has kept on with the Golden State Warriors, and on Feb. 27, 2013, he scored a career-high 54 points in a losing game against the New York Knicks. He set a record for most three-pointers (11) against a Knicks opponent, which no doubt took the sting out of the loss. And of course, he had Ayesha to.
  
   
  +
On September 20, 2017, Curry was named as a spokesperson for CoverGirl, becoming the first spokesperson for the brand who is not an actress, singer, or influencer. She was announced on September 21, 2017 as one of the new hosts of The Great American Baking Show, an American adaptation of The Great British Bake Off, on ABC. She also revealed to Deidre Behar, from Entertainement Tonight, that she was approached to join the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Only two episodes of the third season of ''Baking Show'', however, aired on television due to sexual harassment allegations against one of the show's judges outside the series. While the show was renewed for a fourth season, Curry did not return as a host and was succeeded by former Spice Girls member Emma Bunton.
