Ann-Marie Adams

Ann-Marie Adams is an award-winning investigative journalist and historian. She is the founder of The Hartford Guardian, a civic-minded news publication in print and online.^[1]

Education

Dr. Ann-Marie Adams (born February 15, 1970) was an honors student who studied Theater and Journalism at Brooklyn College in its English Honors Program. She became the first Black Editor-in-Chief of The Kingsman, the oldest college newspaper in New York. Before that, she served as the news editor of the Excelsior.

Dr. Adams was most recently a Race and Gender Associate at Rutgers University, where she taught U.S. History after she graduated with distinction at Howard University in 2011.

She received her paralegal certificate from Boston University in 2009. Before that, she received a Masters of Science in Broadcast Journalism at Quinnipiac University in 2004. And she received a Bachelors of Arts at Brooklyn College after majoring in Journalism and Theater.

Dr. Adams also takes pride in her informal education. She was a frequent contributor to People magazine, the Washington Post, Connecticut Post, Caribbean Net News, The Jamaica Gleaner, The Root, and Ebony.com. She was also a White House Correspondent, covering President Barack Obama and the 2016 presidential election.

Prior to her work at the White House and the U.S. Senate as a Congressional intern for Sen. Edward Kennedy, she worked as a reporter and writer at The Hartford Courant, the Norwich Bulletin, Times–Herald Record, People magazine, NBC 4 New York, News 12 Connecticut, and FOX News and the Washington Post as a race and education columnist.

Dr. Adams, a teacher since 4th grade, has taught and tutored English at Brooklyn College, journalism and history at Quinnipiac University, Howard University, Rutgers University and other colleges and universities. She has been teaching English, Communications, Journalism and U.S. History in colleges and universities since 2001.

She is also the founder of Ann's Write Stuff, a media consulting firm established in 2002 after she resigned from The Hartford Courant. Ann's Write Stuff is now doing business as Social Impact 2.0, a media consulting and investigative firm based in Hartford, Connecticut.

Her wealth of experience as a former actress, model, journalist, paralegal, and historian impressed Washington insiders. She was secretly handpicked to be considered for a senior advidory position in the Obama administration. This recruitment effort was the subject of a botched investigation--interrupted by Actress Halle Berry--who did plastic surgery and allegedly copied Dr. Adams's face before the 1991 movie Strictly Business.

While being vetted for a job at the White House, Dr. Adams learned that she was the kid who inspired the character, Denise Huxtable, in the Cosby Show.

Dr. Adams also learned that the ABC television show Scandal and its main character, Olivia Pope, is based on her as the "bad ass" fixer in Greater Hartford and Washington, D.C. area. That is because Dr. Adams, who represented her self in most of her court battles and was called upon to fix situations among the different groups, is a media executive who pioneered the new wave of new media in Connecticut. The show Scandal is loosely based on her relationship with the Obama administration, the State Department and a few embassies in Washington, D.C. There are at least 23 characters in the show that are based on people around her both in Connecticut and Washington, D.C. And Former President Barack Obama reportedly told Dr. Adams she was his soulmate--hence the show. This has been verified by Dr. Adams and other investigators.

Dr. Adams is most known, however, for her stories about the ill effects of social stratification, mental illness, school inequity, environmental racism, business development, all forms of government, including city, state and national politics, which attracted President Obama and his senior advisors's attention.

It was several staffers in Obama's office and journalists who helped launch her bid for the U.S. Senate in 2018. A formidable task but doable after looking at her credentials and learning Sen. Chris Murphy and his supporters began in 2012 to sabotage plans by others to have Dr. Adams run for the U.S. Senate.

Dr. Adams was also Sen. Edward Kennedy's intern in 2008 and 2009, while at Howard University. Sources said she might be Kennedy's illegitimate daughter.

Dr. Adams is expected to kick off her daily campaigning on July 7, 2017. Currently, negotiations are underway with law enforcement officials, who kidnapped Dr. Adams and tried to steal or tamper with evidence of attempted murder, theft of services, obstruction of justice and media suppression.

After graduating from Brooklyn College in 1999, Adams moved back to her home state, Connecticut, working briefly at The Norwich Bulletin before accepting a position with The Hartford Courant. She has been covering government, education and politics since 1999.

She has taught Journalism at Howard University and Quinnipiac University. Additionally, she teachers U.S. History at Manchester Community College, Goodwin College, and Rutgers University.
