description Generally, research with Black youth/population in mathematics education have largely focused on their mathematics experiences in the context of United States with a special focus on issues of race/racism, equity, and social justice. While these studies are important and have informed our understanding of the schooling experiences of Black youth, there is a dearth of research with specificity on the mathematics learning experiences of Black African immigrant youth. In this paper, using duoethnography, we analyze our previous projects with Black African immigrant youth/families to argue for more nuances in the theoretical and methodological lenses when engaging with this population.
