How Alisha Wainwright's Relationship With Her Son On Raising Dion Evolved

Posted by Tandra Barner on Tuesday, June 4, 2024

The second season of "Raisin Dion" is set two years after the events of the first. As Dion (Ja'Siah Young) grows older he becomes more confident, both in his superpowers and as a person. This, Alisha Wainwright explains, is reflected in the evolving relationship between Nicole and her son. 

"I think as [Dion] gets a grip on [his powers] and they're not so much tied to his emotions, he can just call them at will," Wainwright explains. "It takes a lot of the pressure off, and also, there's no looming threat now, you know? The energy is out there because energy never dies, but honestly like anyone, it becomes normal life. If you look at our lives now, we're doing things [that], two years ago, [would] seem insane, but just now they're part of normal life. I think in the way that you have this big potential threat looming, after a couple years you don't see or feel anything, you just go back to normal. I think when you have the element of, he has a little bit of more control, then she feels like she has more control, and then life can just [happen]. That's where we see them at the jump of Season 2."
