Any recommendations on books or even authors of black/African feminism?

Have you checked out Margaret Ogola, particularly The River and The Source. The book has some of the strongest female characters I've read.

There is a book called The girl with the Louding voice by Abi Daré that is extremely powerful and engaging to read. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a fantastic writer of both fiction and nonfiction. I think her novel Purple Hibiscus might be one of my favorite books ever.

These are some books by African authors that have a feminist undertone

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie
We Need New Names by Noviolet Bulawaya
What it Means When A Man Falls From the Sky

One African feminist I have enjoyed and followed is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. You won't go wrong with her book such as
Americana
Purple Hibiscus
Half of a yellow Sun
Notes on Grief
We should All Be Feminists
