Leah Johnson's hit "You should see me in a crown" allowed her to fill a sparse space of stories with queer black heroines and also open it for other authors. She and Cory offered examples of concrete actions to undertake to fight book censorship, like going at the board of a local school or library. The book censors show up in places where no-one else is, they advance by pushing on open doors but it sometimes only takes one person on the other side of the door to push back and resist.
