While [working as a journalist at The Hartford] Courant, Adams became the youngest president of the Connecticut Association of Black Communicators (CABC), a chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Adams is also the founder of the National Association of Caribbean-American Journalists (NACAJ). She was a board member of the John E. Rogers African American Cultural Center, and the Black Fashion Museum's Harlem Fashion Week.

Ann-Marie Adams: Racial injustice:Black student debt disproportionately worse

The problem is especially acute for black college graduates, who have been disproportionately hit by the student debt crisis. So as college costs continue to outpace inflation, many experts worry that blacks are more likely to be shut out of the future middle class. The center reports that 69% of black students listed debt loads as a key reason for dropping out of college. For Hispanics, it's 71% and for whites it's 43%. Some civil rights organizations see this crisis as a racial justice issue.
