Alycea Adams on Rebuilding Confidence and the Power of Body Language

Despite her smaller stature as a younger child, Alycea Adams was dominant in confidence through effort, speaking up and maximizing first impressions. As she entered the sport of cheerleading, her ability to bring together her physical work ethic, desire to improve, willingness to learn and skill set of connecting with others enabled her to achieve success in her sport earning her a spot on the UNC-Chapel Hill Cheerleading Program. As a social media influencer, she applies her personal experiences and knowledge gained to her passion for breaking societal barriers for women of color in technology & sports to be a role model for young black women to bring confidence into any space they occupy!

Within the past 9 months, her channels on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have grown to nearly 600K! She has had several brand deals with Pantene, YSL Beauty, and Mielle Organics as a natural hair influencer.

At Carolina, she is pursuing a B.S. in Information Science and a double minor in Entrepreneurship/Urban Studies & City Planning. In addition to being a UNC Cheerleader, she is also a Carolina Covenant Scholar and an ambassador for the Shuford Entrepreneurship Program.
