In a recent conversation about the significance of the season for her this year, she shared, “The pandemic has really put things into perspective for me. Nothing is guaranteed to go according to plan, and that’s perfectly fine! Be kind to yourself and understanding towards others.”
“Considering everything that has happened this past year, it feels strange to even think about festivities,” she added. “However, I’ve come to realize, thanks to the pandemic, that celebrations are really about the effort and intention you put into them, nothing more.”

Ayesha has lovingly crafted her brand, Sweet July, as a tribute to her hometown of Oakland, California. The name holds special significance to her, as she got married in July and all three of her children were born in the same month. At the flagship store in Oakland, you can find a mix of her own products, alongside carefully selected items from Black-owned businesses and local artists. Additionally, you can shop for her products online.
In April 2020, the lifestyle guru launched a magazine under the Sweet July name, offering insights on food, family, female empowerment, and self-care, all from Curry’s unique perspective. Each issue features her personal recipes and kitchen tricks.
