Before 7650 Lives Lost in 2022, Millionaire Entrepreneur Ayesha Curry Raised Awareness on Lethal Skin Disease That Black People Are More Vulnerable To

Dine and wine is a concept that’s popular among the rich in NBA fraternity. For many high-paid athletes, this concept becomes a business opportunity. We have countless examples of NBA players investing in both restaurants and the wine industry. It’s not just athletes but their families that can also participate in such investing ventures. Stephen Curry’s wife Ayesha Curry and sister Sydel Lee-Curry are prominent names. They co-founded Domaine Curry just this year and the wine brand has attracted a lot of attention.

And what is also worth paying a lot of attention to is a medical issue that haunts thousands.

Ayesha Curry dives into an important issue

During an Instagram live session, Dwyane Wade and Stephen Curry, along with their partners, had a “cookbook war”. During this lengthy session, the quartet touched upon various subjects. 

As Steph cooked, Gabrielle Union asked Ayesha Curry what her magazine Sweet July would cover in its first issue. Responding to this Curry said, “I wanted it to be super-inclusive and so, this first we are talking all about sunscreen and skin care for all skin types because I feel like a lot of us don’t know that you still need to wear sunscreen. And I think I have seen you talk about that you always wear sunscreen. I feel I have read that before”.

She continued, “It’s so important because our community is actually more susceptible. We don’t get skin cancer as often, but when black people do, they are more likely to fall super, super ill from that. People don’t know that. So we dive into that.”

Thus, Ayesha Curry’s focus on skincare products stems from medical situations, too. Let us look deeper into the skin infections that she touched upon.

Skin cancer has caused a lot of grief

Melanoma is the biggest culprit of death when it comes to skin cancer. It claims 20 lives a day on average and in 2022, estimates suggested 7650 deaths. Going back to what Ayesha said, the infection is 30 times more likely to occur among non-Hispanic White individuals. As per the American Academy of Dermatology Association(AAD), “Skin cancer in patients with darker skin tones is often diagnosed in its later stages when it’s more difficult to treat. Research has shown that patients with darker skin tones are less likely than patients with lighter skin tones to survive melanoma.”

This is why Ayesha’s first magazine issue will touch upon this harrowing issue. Despite amassing a net worth of $120 million, the humble entrepreneur keeps her community’s interest always in her mind.
