I can't endorse Octavia Butler highly enough.

I really liked the Fifth Season books. Maybe not quite so groundbreaking as some people have said, but the mix of Gene Wolfe, Earthbending, and Sarah Connor was interesting.
Heh--it's funny that Binti is front-and-center in that thumbnail about "afrofuturism" as the author of Binti (Nnedi Okorafor) makes a distinction between Afrofuturism and African futurism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africanfuturism
Afrofuturism is SFF about the African diaspora (people of African descent who are no longer living in Africa--usually living in Western countries like America instead), while Africanfuturism is something that envisions a sci-fi future for Africans living in Africa.
(Contrast this to how a lot of Western media sees Africa as permanently impoverished, and even in sci-fi doesn't bother to even try to imagine a future where anyone in Africa prospers and does great things.)
(One of the reasons Black Panther hit so hard is because its depiction of Wakanda is one of the few examples to try to envision what a highly advanced African nation might look like.)
Not sure if it entirely fits the genre but Micaiah Johnson's The Space Between Worlds was really good!
