Sonya is rumored to be the owner and operator of the Montessori School in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded by Dell and Sonya in 1995. According to Clutch points, Steph and his siblings attended this educational institution.
Sonya shared her story about how she used her experiences growing up in Radford Virginia with racism to teach her children valuable lessons.
Sonya Curry, The Undefeated's All-Star Weekend host, said that I wanted them understand that even though they may be considered sheltered, they still needed stories.
Steph said that the most important thing she taught us was that we all grew up differently than her. She was quick to point out the facts and help us appreciate our experiences.
Although I don't know when I started telling them these things, I remember saying, "Did you know that your grandmother was a part of integration as a junior high school student?" Sonya said, "Think about that."
Steph explained to the outlet that I understood that there was a lot of stuff happening in Radford and that it was something that she had to deal with every day. Although I didn't have to experience it, I certainly understood. It was evident in her eyes as she spoke about it.
Steph Curry credits his mom for inspiring him to use his platform in order to raise awareness about social and racial problems.

Sonya stated, "What God has for me, God has also for me." Im a first-generation college graduate. I didn't expect to go to college. I decided to make it my personal competition to see if any other white person was better than me. I will watch them and take the same classes as them because no one is telling what classes to take. That is how I got to college.
