Raising Dion excites fans with its story of quite an unconventional superhero. We’ve had teenage superheroes and adult superheroes but never a child superhero, at least not outside of kid’s movies. And Alisha Wainwright is at the center of it all.

Portraying Dion’s mother, Nicole Warren, she does her best to raise her son after his father dies. That gets complicated when the two of them discover that he has powers, powers that sometimes get out of control. But who is this star? Where did she come from and what else is she known for?
