Phelicia Adams has two years of experience as a home economics teacher, but said initially, she had not envisioned herself in the teaching profession. It was her mother’s desire for her to join the field, and although she wasn’t drawn to it at first, Adams has found herself growing to love the profession, thanks in large part to the inspiration she draws from her adored students. Teaching, it seems, runs in the family, as her aunts and grandmother were also educators.
Being a source of inspiration for her students is a significant source of joy for Adams. While teaching occupies her full-time, Adams is also a well-known crochet designer. The roots of her passion for crochet trace back to her mother, who practised the craft while pregnant with her. Adams said she believes that her exposure to crocheting began in the womb, as her mother dedicated entire days to honing her skills, and this played a crucial role in fostering her love for the craft.
