You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism by Amber Ruffin, Lacey Lamar

I highly recommend the read. I think it is a funny and reflective way of two Black women exploring the impacts of anti-Black racism in their lives. A great read for teaching about racism in the workplace and deals with nuanced and blatant forms of racism. It does so in a commonly light hearted way.
