If you would like to be apart of the show, please send us your recording @https://anchor.fm/humanizing/message with the following

“Humanizing History is a show about people in history that have had an impact on our 

world. We will be exploring what made them important, but our main focus will be on who 

that person was outside of well known records. We will be diving deep into who these 

people were, what they hated, who they loved, and other less known information about 

their lives - in order to show the world that no one is perfect, we are all human and make 

mistakes, but that doesn't mean we can’t be great and have a profound impact on Tomorrow.” 

We will pick a new person every week!
