Redefining Inclusion: Mica Daurie on Transforming Systems from Within

Dalene Allen Season 11 Episode 20

In this episode, we sit down with Mica B. Daurie (she/her) — a trailblazing advocate, consultant, and thought leader whose career has reshaped the landscape of equity and inclusion across Nova Scotia and beyond. As the first openly transgender woman to work at Halifax City Hall and the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, Mica has turned lived experience into transformative leadership.

From her beginnings in Mi'kma'ki to founding her own consulting firm, Mica’s journey is one of courage, persistence, and radical change-making. She’s worked across government, corporate, and community sectors—always pushing for systems that are more accessible, restorative, decolonized, and affirming for all.

Join us as Mica opens up about her experiences navigating institutions not built for people like her, the lessons she’s learned in advocacy and leadership, and the vision that drives her ongoing fight for justice and inclusion. This conversation is honest, empowering, and a testament to what it means to lead with authenticity and purpose.
