Samantha is the founder of Flourishing and Feminism, a publishing house with its own marketing and media company, Witchcraft Creative. Under this hybrid model, Flourishing and Feminism and Witchcraft Creative work together to write, distribute, market, and sell books that tell the heroic and inspiring stories of nonprofit organizations and their founders that serve as an evergreen marketing and revenue strategy for the mission.
