Attorney, Mediator, Screenwriter

Dionne is an attorney, mediator, and screenwriter based in Chicago with a career spanning public service, advocacy, and leadership. A former manager of the U.S. Census Bureau’s eight-state Chicago region, she served as a principal liaison and subject matter expert, guiding her region through one of the most challenging decennials in U.S. history. Dionne’s work in public engagement involved building strategic alliances with high-ranking officials and diverse, underserved communities across major cities. Known for her ability to navigate complex plans, foster cooperation, and resolve conflicts, she has honed skills that seamlessly translate into running a writer's room with precision and empathy.

​

Now a mediator who works with conflict for a living, Dionne’s creative journey began as a way to heal from personal trauma, and her writing reflects a commitment to inspire and challenge audiences on a deeply human level.

​

Her screenplay The Caste of Beula, a series drama about betrayal and ambition in the entertainment industry, has garnered attention for its layered characters and powerful themes. The project reflects Dionne’s ability to balance raw emotional depth with high-stakes drama, mirroring her initial screenplays, Toxic and the Raising of an OG, which earned her finalist placements in several writing competitions. She continues to refine her craft through industry training and creative projects, with the ultimate goal of bringing The Caste of Beula to life on screen.
