She was raised by her aunts Joyce and Pearl, both former models, who encouraged her to start modeling at the age of 16. She had African American, Euro-American, and Cherokee ancestry and even claimed lineage to U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

Her modeling career took off after graduating from the Ophelia DeVore School of Charm. She appeared in Seventeen magazine, Venus Swimwear campaigns, and Clairol commercials before becoming Playboy’s Miss November 1992. While modeling for Wilhelmina Models, she later moved to Elite Model Management after becoming engaged to its CEO, John Casablancas.

Beyond modeling, Adams pursued higher education, earning a bachelor's degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1992. She made a cameo appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" in 2003 to celebrate Playboy’s 50th anniversary and appeared on the cover of "The Village Voice" in 2005.

Adams was also a prolific writer and businesswoman. In 1999, she founded Goddessy, a brand that blended spirituality and self-discovery, publishing over two dozen books, astrology calendars, and tarot card sets. She dedicated works to her late aunt, including "He Only Takes the Best" and "Guardian". Her novel "Empress" explored the lives of women in ancient Rome.

On the evening of May 17, 2018, Adams checked into a 25th-floor penthouse at the Gotham Hotel in Manhattan with her seven-year-old son, Vincent. The next morning, both were found dead on a second-floor balcony in the hotel's rear courtyard. Authorities revealed that Adams was in the midst of a custody battle with her husband, and just hours before checking into the hotel, she told the New York Post that she was being prevented from taking her son on vacation. The New York City Chief Medical Examiner ruled Adams's death a suicide and her son's a homicide.
