"You'll see my journey through the ranks, from the time I was born all the way to current day. All the ups and downs from the career and lessons I've learned," Curry said. "There's plenty of times where people were constantly telling me what I couldn't do, what I wasn't, how small I was. What do you do with that energy? For me, it was trying to write my own story and believe in myself.

"Giving kids age-appropriate, culturally-relevant books that can give them the inspiration they need to find their best self. A book is a great way to get that inspiration. I also understand there's a lot of opportunity to impact the next generation in a myriad of different ways."
