Many of us grew up seeing Tracey Spicer on the TV reading the news on Channel 10. These days she is an author, MC and broadcaster, with a strong focus on women.

Growing up in Queensland, she knew from an early age that she wanted to be a journalist, and after winning a prize for rural journalism, she was able to score a job at a radio station in Brisbane, which started her broadcasting career and was followed by a stint at 3AW in Melbourne..

Soon after, she became the newsreader for the Eyewitness News on Channel 10 where she stayed for 16 years and this lead her to Sky News and writing a regular column for News Ltd.

During that time she became a household name, but eventually she was 'let go' following her maternity leave when her second child was only 2 months old. She sued the network for discrimination (good on her!)

In 2015 she launched her controversial book, The Good Girl Stripped Bare, and started really focusing on being an advocate for women. On the back of the #metoo movement, Tracey produced and hosted a documentary called Silent no More, that focused on the powerful men in the Australian media abusing their power.

These days Tracey has her fingers in lots of pies! From being a member of a number of boards to writing another book around the growth of technology (AI and unconscious bias) and more! Tracey is a total inspiration!
