August 2002, Jackie Adams signed her lease for the Melodrama Boutique. She will be celebrating 18 years of ownership later this year. She’s here to tell all about her journey. Congratulations, Jackie! Jackie Adams was born in West Virginia and raised in Detroit, Michigan before moving to Houston. She finished a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Grambling State University and Atmospheric Sciences at University of Houston. She landed her first job in cancer research at M.D. Anderson and briefly worked as a Geochemist for West port Technology. Her Retail Business Management journey came to life after she accepted an entry-level sales position managing twelve stores in a small Texas-based company.
