Researchers estimate, out of all recorded history, stories about women make up only .5%. This statistic, along with the desire to get these stories heard, has inspired Tia Lantzy to create a space for sharing incredible narratives. Point Five Percent is a new podcast that shines light on unsung women from history. Each episode features the unique story of a woman from the past who likely hasn’t gained the recognition she deserves. Tia invites a different woman from her life, based on similarities to the featured individual in each episode, to discuss, learn and share their own extraordinary experiences.
