Former President Barack Obama spent time in the Bay area with Steph and Ayesha Curry.
On Monday, the former President dined at Ayesha Curry’s International Smoke restaurant in Oakland. The Curry’s along with the chef made sure to get a pic with Obama before he left.
Obama was in California for two days to mark the fifth anniversary of My Brother’s Keeper, where he was joined by Steph Curry. He started the initiative after the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Obama and Curry spoke for about an hour, answering questions from the audience and discussed lacking confidence or being aimless as teens.
Obama praised single mothers, including his own. He advised the boys to look for a mentor and to find opportunities to guide others.
Steph Curry joined the former president in praising the value of teamwork, according to ESPN.
“What we do on the court and the joy that comes out of that is second to none,” Curry said, “because nothing great is done by yourself.”
