Dionne Monsanto is a successful business woman, a mother of three, a dancer, and a God loving, Church going woman.   None of which prepared her to handle  becoming a parent who's child committed suicide.  This may be one of our most important episodes.  Dionne takes us on a deep dive into the intimate and compounded events that lead up to this tragedy.  We come to not only understand how suicide has affected her life and the lives of her friends and family, but also how she has came to terms with her role as mother and protector.  How she has been able to rebuild her life in such a way that she is able to feel whole again while simultaneously  paying tribute to her lost child.  This is a story of courage, strength, resilience, compassion and love.
