As she discusses the significance of this season for her, she takes a moment to ponder and expresses, “In light of the pandemic, we have gained a valuable perspective. We’ve realized that things won’t always go according to plan, and you know what? That’s perfectly fine! It’s important to be kind to ourselves and show understanding to others.”
“After the challenging year we’ve experienced, it feels a bit strange to even talk about festivities,” she adds thoughtfully. “However, I’ve come to realize, and perhaps one positive aspect that has emerged from this pandemic, is that celebrations are truly about the meaning we attach to them, and nothing more.”

Ayesha affectionately refers to her brand, Sweet July, as a heartfelt homage to her beloved Oakland, California. The name holds personal significance, as she tied the knot in July and all three of her children were born in this special month. At the Sweet July flagship store in Oakland, shoppers can find a delightful array of products from Ayesha’s own collection, alongside carefully selected treasures from local Black-owned businesses and talented creators hailing from the Bay Area. For those who prefer to shop from the comfort of their own homes, Ayesha’s offerings are also available online.
In addition to her business ventures, this lifestyle expert unveiled her very own magazine in April 2020. Capturing her unique perspective, the publication delves into a range of topics including food, family, female empowerment, and self-care tips. Ayesha generously shares her personal recipes and indispensable kitchen wisdom within the pages of each issue.
