Early life
Adams was born in New Jersey and raised in New York. She has African American, Caucasian, and Cherokee ancestry.[2] She was raised by her aunts, former models who encouraged her to begin modeling at the age of 16.[3]

In 1999, Adams founded Goddessy, according to her a portmanteau of "goddess" and "odyssey". She published her first book in 2003, and started her own publishing company in 2007. Following the death of her aunt from breast cancer on her birthday July 24, 2003, she decided to dedicate most of her time to writing. That same year, a book was published and dedicated to her deceased aunt titled He Only Takes The Best, followed by another book written in honor of her elderly aunt titled Guardian. Adams has produced two dozen metaphysical books, astrology calendars, and tarot cards, primarily titled Goddessy.[7]
