Ayesha Curry doesn’t want to be in her husband, Stephen Curry’s shadow. She met him during a time when she was juggling multiple jobs, and she helped ease pressure on him. However, her identity can be limited to just as the “wife of Stephen Curry”. Something that irks her because she has always tried to carve her own pathways. Therefore, despite being the wife of a multi-millionaire, she wanted to earn wealth on her own. She made a huge breakthrough when she opened her retail lifestyle brand, Sweet July, last year.
But what’s the secret behind the name?

Doing business in Oakland was a major decision. Something which the website terms as “a love letter from our founder, Ayesha Curry, to the town that has embraced and supported her”.
The Oakland-based cookbook author went to The World’s First Podcast, hosted by Erin & Sara Foster. She discussed the inception of Sweet July there. She stated, “Sweet July came about because I had all these things I wanted to do and all these ideas I had. And I started to realize, they were all small joys that brought joy and gratitude in my life.”
Then she gave concrete reasons as to why she chose the name. She went on, “The name of the company came about because, in the month of July, all three of my kids were born. We got married in July, just like it is the seventh month of the year. Seven is my favorite lucky number. It’s this month for me where in our family, we’d have this adrenaline rush of so much joy, gratitude, and happiness.”
Fittingly, in July this year, she launched a new line of skincare. Curry linked the products to her Jamaican roots and utilized ingredients that hail from the region. Will this venture add up to her already hefty net worth?
Not just the wife of Stephen Curry
The book writer has already built a net worth of $20 million. She has earned it through cookbook sales, which estimates suggest can be around $3 million. Apart from that, her TV show “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen” proved to be a big hit and helped her earn a lot. It also shot her popularity up and built her a newfound identity.
