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.\"","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jacob Anthony Rose \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47566689861789,"sku":"9798330426423","price":31.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_806136f4-a848-4a19-8311-ef23361387ef.jpg?v=1768314970","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/stillness-and-survival-a-life-between-trauma-glitter-and-the-echo-of-my-own-voice-9798330426423","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
