She's still living in their home state of Nebraska, and trust us, you'll never believe what happened to Lacey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom racist donut shops to strangers putting their whole hand in her hair, from being mistaken for a prostitute to being mistaken for Harriet Tubman, Lacey is a lightning rod for hilariously ridiculous yet all-too-real anecdotes. She's the perfect mix of polite, beautiful, petite, and Black that apparently makes people think \"I can say whatever I want to this woman.\" And now, Amber and Lacey share these entertainingly horrifying stories through their laugh-out-loud sisterly banter. Painfully relatable or shockingly eye-opening (depending on how often you have personally been followed by security at department stores), this book tackles modern-day racism with the perfect balance of levity and gravity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber Ruffin, Lacey Lamar\u003cbr\u003eGrand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48663953342679,"sku":"849","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/6159\/7655\/files\/PXL-20250105_234555515_2.jpg?v=1779715985","url":"https:\/\/txvx2c-sy.myshopify.com\/products\/youll-never-believe-what-happened-to-lacey-crazy-stories-about-racism","provider":"My Store 2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
