“There were moments growing up where I felt beautiful, but I truly didn't feel beautiful all of the time until I became a mom. It really allowed me to realize no one is perfect.” MomentsBeautifulRealizingPerfectGrowing UpMomFeeling Beautiful Author:Ayesha Curry
“When you go into mama-bear mode and have no choice but to just go with the flow, that's kind of when I realized...it put life into perspective. Just seeing my little girls and knowing I was going to experience life all over again - I'd be able to take them to the same things that my mom did - it was beautiful. When you become a mom, you gain this vulnerability that is so beautiful. Just the fact that I'm vulnerable but I'm never ashamed is so cool.” KindBeautifulChoicesGirlPerspectiveMomMy MomI RealizedVulnerableVulnerabilityAshamed Author:Ayesha Curry
“I'm accepting of change, and accepting of transforming myself at any given time necessary. At this point in my life, sometimes I have to be mom, sometimes I have to come to work, sometimes I have to be a wife. I love that I don't ever have to be just one thing.” SometimesAcceptingWifeMom Author:Ayesha Curry
“My mom is Jamaican and Chinese, and my dad is Polish and African American, so I'm pretty mixed. My nickname in high school was United Nations. I was fine with it, even though I identify as a black woman. People don't realize it hurts my feelings when someone looks at my hair or my eyes, and says, "But you're not actually black. You're black, but you're not black black, because your eyes are green." I'm like, "What? No, no, I'm definitely black." Even some of my closest friends have said that. It's been a bit touchy for me.” PeopleFeelingsEyeSchoolBlackRealizingHurtMomDadHigh SchoolMy DadMy MomAfrican AmericanChineseIt HurtsBlack WomenUnited Nations Author:Ayesha Curry
“I'm not an actress; I'm not a singer. I guess I'm in the entertainment industry, but I'm in a different category. Hopefully, a young girl will see me and think, Oh, I want to be a chef! Or, She's a mom, too? Oh, cool, I didn't know you could do both! I want to empower people so they don't have to feel like they're putting themselves in a box. Growing up, I only saw one thing, and it's great that we're changing the mold and paving our own paths.” PeopleThinkingDifferentGirlGrowing UpPathMomHopefullyEmpoweringChef Author:Ayesha Curry
