Lunch for the Girls
Bringing Renowned Speakers to Omaha to Support the Girls
Our luncheon has brought figures national and even international renown to share the stage with our girls but the girls tend to steal the spotlight. Or maybe it isn’t stealing if it belongs to them…?
Amber Ruffin & Lacey Lamar
Every year, the girls enjoy the opportunity to share their firsthand experiences of programs, field trips, and even Snackalicious. In 2022, we were joined by Omaha natives and co-authors of the New York Times Best Seller You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism.
Comedian and host of her own late-night talk show, Amber, along with her sister, Lacey, who resides in Nebraska, addressed racism directly while sharing examples from their book.
