  A shattered mirror. A silenced voice. A woman’s fight to reclaim her truth. 
  The Mirror Memoir: With Deep Reflections is the unflinching true story of Samantha Jo Folio; a journey through abuse, betrayal, workplace harassment, and spiritual warfare. What could have broken her instead became the fire that forged her voice. 
  From small-town Appalachia to the isolating glow of work-from-home call centers, Samantha’s path is marked by heartbreak and injustice, but also by resilience, faith, and divine encounters that could not be silenced. She survived toxic workplaces, online harassment, and the crushing weight of being targeted for speaking out. Through it all, she found power in ritual, strength in faith, and truth in the mirror that became her sacred altar. 
  This is more than a memoir, it is a testimony. For every survivor who has doubted their worth, every whistleblower who has wondered if the fight was worth it, and every seeker standing at the edge of despair and transformation, this story is for you. 
  Inside, you’ll hear:An intimate look at corporate retaliation and discrimination.The emotional toll of targeted harassment and intimidation.A survivor’s honest account of loss, faith, and reclamation.Real-life spiritual experiences that blur the line between the visible and unseen. 
  If you’ve ever faced injustice and felt invisible, The Mirror Memoir will remind you: your voice is power, your truth is sacred, and your reflection still shines—even when the mirror is cracked.

  Chuck D (Public Enemy, Prophets of Rage, etc.) brings his personal insights and social critiques to the page in fierce, passionate, and evocative visual art and prose"The Public Enemy mastermind combines art and hip-hop rhymes to provide his compelling, personal views on the chaotic years between 2020 and 2022. Though they often feel like diary entries, each installment has an overarching storyline and theme . . . In an engaging, distinctly hip-hop style, Chuck D reveal important lessons from the early pandemic years." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewLegendary hip-hop artist and social activist Chuck D has used every opportunity in his groundbreaking career to stand up for civil rights. His rap group Public Enemy is widely regarded as a revolutionary act both in terms of its impact on hip-hop and its use of music to impart a message of race and class equality. The band emerged from the late 1970s/early '80s coalescence of rap, punk, and street art into hip-hop music culture on the East Coast. At the time, Chuck D had completed his BFA in graphic design, and while his music career exploded, his passion for visual art never left his heart.In February 2020, he turned his gaze once again to the page, and began to fill three 5 x 8 journals with his written and drawn reflections of a world beginning to unravel. STEWdio: The Naphic Grovel ARTrilogy of Chuck D recreates format of his original art, combining three full-color paperback bound books into a beautiful box set. The box set is the inaugural offering from Enemy Books, the new Akashic Books imprinted curated by Chuck D.Spanning the onset of COVID-19 through the first year of the Joe "Bye-Don" administration, Chuck D lends his powerful artistic voice to one of the most tumultuous periods in American history, and puts it in a capsule. Like the neo-expressionist graffiti art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck D's energetic "Naphic Grovels" marry text with drawings, commenting on contemporary events with the same activist instinct that propelled Public Enemy's "music-with-a-message" reputation. His inventive, Amiri Baraka–esque language and accompanying art is also occasionally used as a tool for introspection, providing unparalleled insight into one of the most important cultural figures of our time.Each journal follows a distinct period in Chuck D's (and America's) life; There's a Poison Goin On chronicles the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, from February–April 2020; 45 Daze of REaD Octobot follow the days leading up to and the aftermath of the historic 2020 election; and Datamber Mindpaper, which focuses on the early days of the Biden administration.No song may be more reflective of 1980s America than Public Enemy's "Fight the Power;" no document may come to capture our COVID era like Chuck D's STEWdio.
