READ THIS BOOK! Somehow Lacey and Amber Ruffin manage to make the horror show that is being a Black woman in America funny while simultaneously opening readers eyes to the pervasive nature of racism. If you are working on building your understanding of how to practice anti-racism this is a key piece - understanding the daily interactions that fill this book has been eye opening. It's one thing to understand on an intellectual level that Black people are exposed to racist sentiments and behaviors on a regular basis - but this book drives home how insanely common events that made me literally exclaim out loud are. Read this book, read this book, read this book.
