Finding Your Voice, Living Out Loud

For over a

decade, millions of Canadians started their day with Marci Ien. As a Black

female news anchor and, later, the first Black woman in Canada to co-host a

national morning show, Marci felt the pressure to stay “on script”—with little

room for error. She had to be great. She had to show, every day, that she

deserved to be there.

When her

career veered sharply away from the news, Marci embraced her new role “off

script.” With a greater opportunity to speak her mind on the air, Marci now

bravely shares experiences from her

own life with viewers and pursues more ways to make a difference in her

community.

In Off

Script, Marci shares personal milestones, tales of resilience and kindness,

dramatic moments from her career as a journalist and insights from the many

unforgettable people that she’s met and interviewed. Living off script means

having the courage to speak up, trust your voice and follow your own formula

for what matters most.
