I was a quiet boy with loud dreams. But dreams don't grow well in a house full of fear.
As a gay child in a home where silence meant survival, I learned to vanish. For years, I kept my voice hidden - not just from the world, but from myself.
Then came music. Drag. Glitter. Applause.
And, for a time, freedom. Onstage, I could be someone bigger than the pain. For twenty years, I sang and performed my way into pieces of joy I never thought I'd know.
But trauma has its own rhythm.
In the quiet of the covid years, the past came roaring back. I lost my voice again - this time to adulthood pain, depression, and the unhealed echoes of my childhood. Stillness and Survival is a story of silence and expression, queerness and survival, collapse and return. It is about finding your own voice - again and again - even when the world tries to take it away.
This is not just a memoir.
It's a reclaiming.

About the Author
Rose, Jacob Anthony: - "Jacob Anthony Rose is the creative force behind Sheena Rose - a bold, beloved presence in San Francisco's drag and dance music scenes. Born and raised in Martinez, California, Jacob moved to San Francisco in 2004 and soon found his calling in drag, blending theatrical flair with a deep love of music and nightlife.Sheena Rose emerged in 2006: part glam goddess, part club kid, and all heart. Sheena became a staple in SF's queer nightlife, performing at iconic venues like Aunt Charlie's Lounge with the Hot Boxxx Girls and Dream Queens Revue since 2007.In 2012, Sheena stepped into the recording spotlight with dance-floor anthems like "Make Me Over," "Queen of Clubs," "Two of Hearts," and "The Night I Fly," often in collaboration with producer Leo Frappier. Her music celebrates house, dance, disco and the power of self-expression.For two decades, Jacob has shaped Sheena into a symbol of resilience, joy, and queer creativity - more than a persona, she's a vibrant extension of his truth and rhythm.Jacob's debut memoir, Stillness and Survival, will be release January 5th, 2026."
