Just about every time Jordyn Peaks speaks out about her suicide attempt, she breaks stigmas, which is why we're so grateful she shared her story with us and with you for our February episode. She's heard this in one form or another many times, 'You're on TV, you're smart, beautiful and so driven, how could you have a suicide scare?' Truth is, anyone can. Jordyn talks openly about her journey: the darkness, the tears and the lights that finally shone through and led the way for her to achieve so much. Those lights are many: her family, friends and faith just to name a few. Speaking of, Jordyn's mother, Alicia, joins the episode to share her perspective from a parent's point of view. We're also honored to have such two powerful guests to reflect on February's designation as Black History Month.
