In My Beautiful Black Son Died by Suicide, Tonia Lott delivers a heartrending and profoundly personal narrative that chronicles the unimaginable loss of her son, Julian, to suicide. This poignant memoir invites readers into the depths of a mother's grief as she reflects on the life of her son—a young man who seemed to have it all, from graduating from the prestigious United States Naval Academy to becoming a submarine engineer—yet silently struggled with overwhelming inner battles.

Tonia candidly explores the events leading up to Julian's tragic death, exposing the hidden pain and unspoken challenges that he endured. As she navigates through her shock, guilt, and the heavy burden of what-ifs, his mother sheds light on the complexities of mental health, especially within the Black community, where conversations about mental health are often silenced by stigma.

Believe in the Dark: The Artform of Getting Through Crisis is a straight to the point documentation of proven techniques to navigate impossible situations. It’s my intention to provide ABC instructional information of truths, options, formulas, and methods so you can live calmly and peacefully through everyday crises as well as difficult situations and uncomfortable dramatic encounters.

What you will learn in these pages is what belief actually is. As an added bonus, we’ll talk about why the “dark moments” come into our lives, and how you can conquer them. Rather than see those dark moments as a killer or bully, you can come to view them as more of a teacher, motivator, and even friend.

Don’t you think it’s time you allowed yourself to put the power of belief into action, so you can let the dark moments fall back into the proper perspective?

It’s time to learn the artform of getting through crisis!
