Marissa chats with Leah Johnson about her debut contemporary romance - YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN - as well as extraordinary prom traditions, the under-representation of queer Black girls in YA fiction and the responsibility Leah felt in writing for a relatively empty marketplace, the important role of tenacity when so much of the publishing journey is reliant on chance, and why every single accomplishment deserves to be celebrated.
