Dr Geneva Smitherman is a great resource. On top of scholars you can incorporate a book like "I Am Enough" by Grace Byers. This book celebrates selflove and identity, promoting inclusivity and pride in one’s cultural background, which could inspire discussions about Black Language in the classroom.

To further honor and learn about Black Language, I would recommend scholars and practitioners such as Dr. Geneva Smitherman and Dr. John Rickford.
