Synopsis

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.

This book was fantastic. I was hooked from Page 1 and I finished the entire thing in less than 24 hours.

It’s easy to forget that people who work on TV are real people with real lives. In this book Marci Ien gives the reader an intimate and honest look at her life off camera growing up in Toronto, working in Halifax, working at Canada AM, working with the people of La Loche, and all the interesting peo......more
