Bula's debut with "Sand Nigga" was deeply accepted and celebrated by individuals of all races, creeds, religions and walks of life. In Bula's words, "I wrote Sand Nigga to address the hidden barriers we put between ourselves and others, based on insignificances such as the color of our skin. We are so much more than our bodies. We are limitless spiritual beings with the ability to create absolutely anything. I truly believe that, and this is my message behind my book."
