Ayesha Doesn’t Have a Problem, But “You Do.”  This is about as clear and transparent I can get with this statement.  Over the past couple of days, there has been much chatter and heated debates around Ayesha Curry’s appearance on, “The Red Table Talk” hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith.  Ayesha Curry is married to Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. They have three young children, 2 Girls (Riley and Ryan) and 1 Son (Canon). Now If you are not familiar with the show, “The Red Table Talk” it is hosted on Facebook’s platform, it is a show that was specifically created to allow people to express themselves without judgment, so this means transparency for Women and Men, no topic is off limits.  But here is what I especially like about the show, nobody’s vulnerability is exploited for ratings, and that goes for the host Jada herself, who has been very transparent about her own battles and struggles.  

Ayesha, her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law’s where guests on the show and they talked about the life of being a wife to NBA players.  In Ayesha’s case, she is married to Steph Curry who is a 3-Time NBA Champion.  The perks are great as we can imagine but there is also a very dark side that people don’t understand, especially for those trying to look in from the outside, and Ayesha and her fellow Queens chose to reveal that part of it.  Before I watched the episode, there was such hateful visceral from Women and Men that I was utterly disgusted.  I saw the soundbite of it and couldn’t understand for the life of me, where people got these wild interpretations of what she said from.  After watching it, I truly saw that it wasn’t what she said, that set these hateful mongrels off, no, it was her ability to be transparent about her struggles.  When people choose to suffer in silence, that is their choice, whether people think it’s good or bad, it is still the person’s choice.  But when people have chosen to be transparent, for one it is because they have a circle around them, that allows for it, without judgment or shame and two it is for the reason of helping somebody else to become free, even it’s just for the one individual.  

What it also helped me to identify were the toxic women and toxic men.  It let me know that a lot of people truly don’t listen, they only hear with zero understanding. Black women coming at Ayesha so viciously broke my heart and yet these same women, are constantly posting how “The Black Woman is the Least Protected and Respected” but here they are doing the same thing to their fellow Black Queen/Black Sister.  Let me tell you this, you don’t have to be married to an athlete, entertainer or movie star, to have insecurities, vulnerabilities or struggles.  Being married or being single is still challenging and as they say, “The Struggle is Real.”  Having a lot of money doesn’t make you exempt from the craziness; it just makes you an even bigger target sometimes. So one of my biggest questions is this, “How could so many people misinterpret what Ayesha was saying?  If really in their heart of hearts, they were looking for something nasty to say about her?” And that is the answer I got from this whole thing.  

Here is the best part, Ayesha’s husband Steph Curry knew exactly what she was saying, and is supporting his wife wholeheartedly!  So all of the miserable folks that were talking trash about her don’t understand nor do they have any idea about when you have the love, respect and the power of your husband, family, lover or friend, standing right there beside you.  So as Ayesha sleeps peacefully at night, all of the hateful women and men that aggressively attacked her on social media, my question is, “How are you sleeping at night? I bet it’s terrible because misery leaves you with no peace.”  Now check that!

Well Until My Next Post…Ciao!
