Minister Marci Ien joins Nate to discuss why she left as co-host of the popular show The Social to run for office, how she plans to use her new role to make a difference, and her work to strengthen diversity and equality.

Before politics, Marci was an award-winning broadcaster and journalist with The Social, Canada AM, CTV News, and CHCH. She’s been nominated for a Canadian Screen Award, received an African Canadian Achievement Award for her journalism, and her Journey to Freedom series focused on the Underground Railroad earned a Radio Television Digital News Association Award.

Marci won a by-election in October 2020 to become the Liberal MP for Toronto Centre, and after winning re-election in 2021 she was appointed the Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Youth.

Her 2020 book Off Script: Living Out Loud chronicles her life working as a journalist and decision to enter politics.
