And in order to truly have a voice, you have to have somebody representing you at a higher level. I just know that we\u2019re capable of so much, and it\u2019s been great to see a shift lately.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What does success mean to you?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nSuccess to me is never measured by the accolades or getting acknowledged for what you do. It\u2019s more so for deciding that you\u2019re going to do something or creating a product and seeing it through from point A to point C.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What kind of legacy do you hope to leave for women in your industry?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nFor me, personally, I didn\u2019t know that I could be in the culinary world. Mainly because it&#8217;s a predominantly male industry, so to see a shift and a change is great and to be a part of the change is even better. I think it\u2019s important for women to know that they can truly do whatever it is they put their mind, their passion, and their energy to. I hope the legacy that I leave is a perfect representation of that \u2013 that I put my mind to something, I saw it through, and made it happen.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What\u2019s the best advice you could ever give?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThe best advice I could ever give is to not take no for an answer because there\u2019s going to be a million people that will tell you \u201cno.\u201d You just need one \u201cyes.\u201d Also, to go with the flow because God\u2019s time is always the right time, and if you have an idea or if you have something you\u2019re passionate about, your timing isn\u2019t always going to be the best timing. So have patience and roll with the punches.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 500px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtuoYlzHRf5\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtuoYlzHRf5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Ayesha Curry (@ayeshacurry)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2019-02-11T04:46:56+00:00\">Feb 10, 2019 at 8:46pm PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong>How do you drown out the negative criticism and stay authentic to yourself?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI think prayer is big for me and making sure that every day I\u2019m seeking God and finding my inner peace and finding peace within all of the blessings that I have. I think in today\u2019s world, especially as businesswomen, we tend to look at all the negative and all the things that are going wrong and forget to stop and look at all the things that are right and happy and in harmony. It\u2019s important to have gratitude for those things and I think only when we have gratitude is when we start to exceed our expectations.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do you define happiness?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI define happiness as seeing my children happy and thriving and coming home and hearing my husband and my family tell me that they\u2019re proud of me and that they love me.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What\u2019s the first thing you do every morning?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThe first thing I do every morning, and I\u2019d like to change, is to check the baby monitor.
