"Victoria G., Educator: ""As a NYC public school teacher, Black Sands books are essential to the classroom because it finally gives us minorities a chance to be POWERFULLY represented in literature."" Ryan Will, Reedpop: ""In an industry that has struggled with diversity, it is so refreshing to see Black Sands creating work that is adding diversity while also providing some much-needed diverse storytelling to children of all ages. The combination of quality artwork and great characters is something that can be difficult to find among self-published comics which also makes Black Sands a valuable addition...[and adds a] much-needed element to the pop-culture industry as a whole."""
