76. Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar on 'You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories About Racism'

Both Omaha natives, you probably know Amber Ruffin as the host of
The Amber Ruffin Show. Her sister Lacey Lamar still lives in
Omaha where she has worked in the healthcare and human services
field for more than twenty-five years. The two co-wrote the book
You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories About
Racism, which is a recounting of the multitude of racist
encounters Lacey has had living in Omaha over the years. It’s a
hilarious, biting insight into the Midwest Nice culture and it’s
available now wherever you get books. Today Ruffin and Lamar are
in conversation with Tom Knoblauch about the journey that led to
writing the book and what their relationship is with Omaha
now.
