Ayesha Curry

THE COOKBOOK AUTHOR IS A LEADER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD HUNGER.

- BECKY DUFFETT

AYESHA CURRY is a multihyphenate star. She has written cookbooks (The Full Plate and The Seasoned Life), hosted the cooking show Ayesha's Home Kitchen, collaborated on restaurants, launched a lifestyle brand and magazine, and acted in films, to name just a few endeavors. But while it's fun to catch her in a new movie on Netflix or to try her papaya exfoliating cleanser, her most exciting project is her most ambitious one: fighting childhood hunger in her adopted hometown of Oakland, California.

In 2019, together with her husband, NBA superstar Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Ayesha Curry founded the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. Combining their joint passions for food and basketball, and partly inspired by her earlier work with the national nonprofit No Kid Hungry, ELP is dedicated to getting kids nutritious meals and reading resources, along with opportunities to play.
