Publisher's Summary

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.

Exactly what I needed!

Sinking into this book of vignettes was easy, especially with Marci’s voice. These stories shared were at times tragic, then illuminating, inspiring and nourishing. It exceeded my expectations and made for lovely night-time listening. Wow.

thanks for sharing your story

Marci has written an engaging book that really shows her soul she takes herself out of the boxes that Society puts you in and claims her own footing.

Amazing and inspiring

I loved this book and it was read by the author so well - it was engaging. I loved you on Canada AM and on the Social. Knowing the stories behind all of your life and accomplishments only made me like and admire you even more. So happy you are now part of the Liberal Government. Can't wait to see all that you do and achieve! Bravo Marci Ien!!
