Mathematically Gifted & Black (MGB) is a website that features the accomplishments of black scholars in mathematical sciences. In addition to highlighting the work and lives of established mathematicians in the African Diaspora, the platform aims to support the next generation of these mathematicians as they pursue career goals in mathematics and mathematical sciences fields. Featured mathematicians must have a degree in mathematics that they use in their work and be recognized as a leader in research, education, industry, government, academia, and/or outreach. The website has been recognized by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) as a "celebrat[ion of] the diversity of Black mathematicians," and the National Math Festival describes it as a resource that "provides access to the diverse and dynamic community of black mathematicians." When featured on the mathematics podcast "Relatively Prime," the founders of MGB shared that the website shows the diversity of black mathematicians' lives and highlights the importance of representation in mathematics.
