Hindsight is 20/20 forAyesha Curryafter a “botched” round of plastic surgery following a “rash decision” on her part.
The cookbook author,CoverGirlpartner and mother of three coversWorking Mother‘s June/July issue, where she opens up about the breast augmentation she underwent after giving birth to her second child (daughterRyan Carson, now 3½) and breastfeeding.
“I didn’t realize at the time, but after having Ryan, I was battling a bit of postpartum that lingered for a while,” Curry, 30, tells the magazine. “It came in the form of mebeing depressed about my body. So I made a rash decision.”
She explains that her “intention was just to have them lifted,” but she ended up “with these bigger boobs I didn’t want” after the procedure was finished.
“They’re worse now than they were before,” Curry reveals.

Despite her own experience (“I would never do anything like that again,” she vows), Curry is “an advocate” for other womento make their own choices aboutwhat works for them and their bodies.
“I’m an advocate of if something makes you happy, who cares about the judgment?” she tellsWorking Mother.
That “live and let live” mentality extends to her respect for all fellow moms, regardless of whether they stay home with their children, work full timeor something in between.

“I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing if I didn’thave my village helping me,” the star adds.
Curry opines that her “own community needs to embrace everyone better,” admitting that “Sometimes I feel like I’m too black for the white community, but I’m not black enough for my own community.”
“That’s a hard thing to carry,” she says. “That’s whymy partnership with CoverGirlwas special for me because I felt like I didn’t fit the mold [of a Cover-Girl] … I’m not in the entertainment industry, in the traditional sense. I’m not thin; I’m 170 pounds on a good day.”
“It’s been a journey for me, and that’s whyI want my girls to understandwho they are — and to love it,” she adds.
