<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>Abstract</b>: This talk paints a selective portrait of the intersectionalities surrounding Black immigrant literacies as a basis for teachers to better understand
Black immigrant students’ needs in classrooms. I draw specifically from Black Caribbean immigrant literacies to identify and describe five things that every teacher should know and do when encountering Black Caribbean in English language arts and literacy
instruction. Through provisions such as legitimizing ‘unbroken Englishes’, supporting ‘translanguaging with Englishes’, cultivating ‘holistic literacies’ and fostering local-global connections’, it is anticipated that teachers of Black immigrant and Black
Caribbean youth in the United States, Caribbean, and beyond will begin to unmask invisibility and de-essentialize the literacies of this population in their classrooms. Through the use of this framework, it is also expected that teachers will be able to better
support all students who engage with literacies informed by intersections of race, language, and nationality.</span></p>
