Critics Review

Honest and authentic - I could not put it down * Michelle Griffith Robinson OLY *
Everyone should read this book * Renee McGregor *
Wow. I found this book to be in equal parts illuminating, insightful, inspiring and intimate. Sabrina has given us a gift here, in her vulnerability and willingness to tell her story with such openness. When I read it, I felt like a gained a new friend. Black Sheep is powerful testimony for anyone seeking to deepen their own anti-racist journey. This is passionate, raw writing, with moments of reflection that we can all learn from. It’s a story that had to be told, and must be heard. * Jeffrey Boakye *
