Hear Me Out: On Air, Off Air, and Everything In Between [9781443477017]

Overview

From former Cityline host Tracy Moore comes an empowering memoir about finding your own voice and lifting others’, female empowerment and the journey to becoming one of the country’s most beloved voices

Best known as the award-winning host of Cityline, Tracy Moore shared the best style trends, cooked up delicious recipes and dedicated her platform to empowering women. Even after sixteen years, Tracy maintained a solid reputation for playing nice by helping guests thrive, elevating younger staff and pushing diversity to the top of the broadcast agenda.

Off camera, however, that graciousness was often tested. Tracy spent a lot of time strategizing how to navigate the often toxic media industry she worked in without losing herself. Ducking from men behaving badly, dealing with microaggressions, discerning real friends from fake, handling public scrutiny about her body, gender and race, and even speaking out in an internationally headlined social media melee, sparking violent online hate.

In this book Tracy tells the stories she has kept tucked away in journals and conversations with family and close friends. With vulnerable details about parenting in the public eye, her Jamaican parents’ early start in Canada and the palpable love between Tracy and her viewers, Hear Me Out is above all a story of resilience and joy. Alternately bittersweet and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s written just as audiences know Tracy to be—unapologetically herself.
