Stephanie Adams is a Leo, born July 24, 1970. Adams was born in New Jersey and raised in New York City. Adams is an exotic mix of Black, White and American Indian, (with an ethnic background in Cherokee, English, Italian and Egyptian).

According to her Playboy pictorial, Adams is the direct descendant of two U.S. presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams. John Adams (the second President of the United States of America) and John Quincy Adams (the sixth President of the United States of America) were both outstanding forefathers who gave all of their children (including those who were born out of wedlock) their last name and ownership of land. That (along with the fact that Stephanie Adams is part Native American) explains why Adams comes from a family that owns over 4000 acres of land in various parts of the United States of America.

Adams was raised from birth by her aunts, who were both former models (Joyce was a runway model as well as a cover girl for Wella and Pearl was a pin-up model in the 60s). At the age of 16, her aunts convinced her to also start a career in modeling.

Adams was signed first to Wilhelmina Models while completing her dual bachelor's degree in Business Management and Marketing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and then signed to Elite Model Management by John Casablancas. In spite of a vigorous agenda and successful modeling career, Adams still managed to obtain a Bachelor of Science.

During the time she attended college, Adams also graduated from the Ophelia DeVore School of Charm, where she developed her skills and desire for public speaking. Her love for the arts (writing and painting) as well as her desire to pursue a career in business had to be put on hold due to her demand in the modeling industry.

At some point, photographs of Adams taken during a photo shoot for an international poster were sent to Playboy by the photographer (with her permission) "for fun". However, Playboy received the photos and took her being a centerfold very seriously. Being that Adams always admired the beautiful and artistic qualities of Playboy photography and viewed posing in Playboy as "every bad girl's dream and every good girl's fantasy", she accepted the invitation to appear at the Playboy Mansion, but declined to appear in the magazine. Eventually Adams realized what an honor it would be to pose in the magazine and finally accepted the offer to pose for Playboy.

Shortly after doing photo shoots for companies such as Seventeen, Venus Swimwear and Clairol, Adams became Playboy's "Miss November 1992". Adams was dating the founder and CEO of Elite Model Managament (John Casablancas) at that time and he appeared with her in one of the feature photos for her pictorial.

Adams later appeared in numerous Playboy international centerfold editions and videos, as well as a cameo appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman on behalf of Playboy. At some point during her Gay Rights activism, she appeared as an LGBT spokesmodel on the cover of the Village Voice and was voted the "Best Lesbian Sex Symbol" in New York City.

Before dating Casablancas, Adams was in a relationship with Ted Stephenson, one of the first male supermodels for Calvin Klein. After dating Casablancas, Adams married an Italian investment banker, whom she subsequently divorced. (To this day, he considers her to be the love of his life.) Adams then dated other prominent New York City men, including famous ones such as Robert De Niro. Soon after ending a long term relationship around that time, Adams was seen around town with LGBT notables such as comedian Marga Gomez and rock star Joan Jett. Adams always spoke highly of her past love interests, including record label founder and CEO Bob Chiappardi.

Adams had once commented regarding her romantic life that she was a "Playboy trapped in a Playmate's body." Since then, Adams dated a high-profile attorney as well as a controversial financier, but broke up with both due to her getting more seriously involved with a well-known and highly reputable doctor in the medical industry. Soon after announcing their engagement, Adams married, later had a child, and decided to keep the details of her family life private.

Back in 1999, Adams founded a new-age company that she named GODDESSY, a portmanteau of "goddess" and "odyssey". Following the death of her aunt from breast cancer on July 24, 2003, the day that should have been a birthday celebration, Adams decided to quit modeling full-time and dedicate most of her time towards writing. Eventually, GODDESSY also became the title of a series of astrology, new age, spiritual and metaphysical books written by Adams. Since then, Adams has authored two dozen books, calendars and tarot, in addition to being a contributing editor of horoscopes and articles to various publications.

Even though she became a spokesmodel for an LGBT fashion line and is still featured on magazine covers as well as a documentary on her life for Women's Entertainment, Adams prefers to simply be known as "an author". She continues to make celebrity appearances for Playboy and continues to be an advocate in the LGBT community, after giving speeches for several Gay Prides in New York City, and speaking for reputable empowerment organizations such as Out Professionals, Heritage Of Pride and Women's Alliance.

Adams has been featured in and on numerous magazine covers as well as various newspapers such as New York Post, Daily News, Newsday, etc. as well as TV channels 2 (CBS), 4 (NBC), 5 (FOX), 7 (ABC), 9 (WOR) 11 (WPIX), NY 1 News, CNN, etc. and other media such as Entertainment Tonight, The Late Show With David Letterman, Playboy TV, etc.

Aside from her active modeling and writing career, Adams dedicates most of her time investing in Fortune 500 companies, which enabled her to become a self-made millionaire before the age of 30. Now Adams also dedicates most of her time towards philanthropy, and continuing to enjoy as much of a private life as she can possibly have with her husband and son.
