When we mention female mathematicians of African descent, Katherine Johnson is a name that stands out. The Hidden Figures book and movie brought her outstanding achievements into the spotlight. Katherine calculated the trajectory which put the first American in space. Young girls are inspired by her work and aspire to pursue careers in mathematics irrespective of the challenges anticipated. In recent years, the journeys of female African mathematicians (Femafricmaths) and their achievements are not easily accessible both in print and online. Chelsea Walton and Eunice Mureithi are Femafricmaths making excellent contributions in mathematics which need to be highlighted. This talk will put the spotlight on successful journeys of early, mid and established Femafricmaths across Africa and those of African descent. This was part of the Black Heroes of Mathematics Conference 2020. ========== The London Mathematical Society has, since 1865, been the UK's learned society for the advancement, dissemination and promotion of mathematical knowledge. Our mission is to advance mathematics through our members and the broader scientific community worldwide.
