"..all your documentation doesn't matter.You can go to HR and still get your feelings hurt." - painfully accurate

[@AmariSali]

When you come to realize HR is to protect the company and not you, it messes you up a little bit.

[@revmd621]

@Tryintomake...Yes. 🏆

THE PERSON THEY CONFUSED HER FOR WAS HARRIET TUBMAN?!?! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Really....Harriet was quite short. How could they make that error?

@@markgrice8214 I’ve read the book and there’s a pic of the actual check. It’s mainly the face of Ms. Tubman. It looks NOTHING like Lacey. Seriously.

HR "our job is to protect the company, not you"

[@ShiningLight411]

Fact!

[@fairytale143]

100%!

[@deborahfrederick916]

Um, Yeah.

[@MariaVosa]

Lacey is clearly the serious sister - but not that serious because she's a Ruffin. I need her to come back on the show.

[@gabbym333]

Maybe. But Amber is also more used to working on a set and being on camera :)

[@Psiberzerker]

I picked up "The funny one," and "The dry funny one." Lacy is being serious about a serious subject, but she also snuck some stealth humor in there. Amber lets you know she's kidding, because she's always kidding. Lacy had me laughing a couple times too.

[@jodiekeenan3005]

Did you guys see how Amber pranked her when they were guests on Late Night?

[@RWAsur]

same!

[@avamomoh]

They talk exactly the same way. Same Tone, inflection, mannerisms. Holy smokes.

[@madintlemojaki1019]

My observation too!!!

[@justthinkin5956]

Ditto

[@marianataliasaezsampson1021]

Same! I love it!

[@walkz007]

That's how you know it's not faked like some folks

[@kamillion111977]

Riight 😆 love it!

[@alonzabrown5345]

Amber's favorite story was definitely the correct answer.

[@badbiker666]

If I met Lacey under normal circumstances and didn't already know she was Amber's sister I would wonder why she talked just like her. Seeing them together I love the physical family resemblance. But their voice inflection and mannerisms make them seem like twins. I love them both!

[@dolliehoraney6426]

"I like it when bad things happen to you" Spoken like a true sibling

[@lieselemay]

Aw, you two are so cute together! I am sorry people are so ignorant and horrible. Looking forward to reading your book.

[@Keith-jl9ll]

You guys have such a great dynamic together. Definitely buying the book.

It's all I wanted. Thank you, Amber for scoring your own channel. I refused to subscribe to the broader Peacock channel, because legitimate doubts, and now have eagerly subscribed to yours. You're doing great and are the funniest. I love who you are and expect nothing less from your future.

[@stevemack7110]

Well, we know who one of the dislikes was.

[@JasmineWright2]

@SteveMack Whoosh

[@BeeWhistler]

I’d start laughing at a story... stop laughing because it happened at all. Laugh at another story... laugh fades because yikes. Start laughing again because Amber thought it was so funny and besides... Harriet Tubman. People are not well. But that last bit... yeah, that is on point because Amber IS a My Little Pony.

[@marzipanpig196]

I've been listening to the audiobook, and I can't imagine a better way to read this book. There's so much giggling, and even a little singing! It's somehow hilarious and horrifying and thought-provoking and sweet, all at once. Hooray, Amber & Lacey!! I love this book.

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

Whoever did the set design, lighting, and wardrobe hit this one out of the ballpark. Super sophisticated and beautiful. Seems an appropriate setting for Amber’s razor wit. Edit: having now watched the whole video, full respect to 2 articulate, professional, hilarious, elegant women. I really enjoyed you both.

[@dearjourneyxokamiahmonique]

I thought (still half way think) that’s Amber in “costume”, but once the conversation turned towards their parents and upbringing , I’m like “okay, maybe this is a real person?!?”. Regardless, Amber is awesome and the book sounds relevant and necessary!

[@kazza6078]

I LOVE when siblings subtly talk like each other!!

[@Tulipsaki]

Not surprisingly, Lacey speaks like Amber.

[@novacorps2468]

Amber speaks like Lacey. Lacey is the elder.

[@kareninalabama]

I thought Lacey sounded like the contralto version of Amber (or Amber sounds like the soprano version of Lacey, depending on your perspective. 🙂)

[@FabulousKilljoy917]

Amber needs to have her whole family guest on her show because this cuteness, and insight into what a Nebraska is, is giving me life🙌

[@KuriusOranj]

Definitely! Their parents must be a hoot!

Binders of racists. Just binders-full.

[@waireads2712]

I love the relationship! It reminds me of my own sisters lol once one of my sister's pretended to quietly cry in front of me bc of something I did and I said "Aww, don't cry... quietly. You know I love it when I can hear you crying." She gave me the nastiest glare and left me alone and it fueled me for days.
