Bio

Full Bio

Dyana Williams’ career exceeds limitation. Whether showcasing her talents in broadcasting, print journalism, community activism, television producing, media coaching or lecturing, she’s remained a constant force in the entertainment industry for over three decades.

Currently, Williams hosts “Soulful Sunday,” a weekly show broadcast via the Radio One adult contemporary station, WRNB-FM, which won the “Achievement in Radio Award” for Best Weekend Show in Philadelphia for 2006. Each Sunday, from 10 am to 3 pm, she can be found at 100.3 on the FM dial, deftly weaving the musical history born from her adopted hometown Philadelphia, along with other classic music ranging from Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass and every R&B artist in between.

Affectionately named “The Ambassador of African-American Music” by American Express’ Departures magazine, the Harlem native began her career at WHUR-FM in the Nation’s Capitol and later, journeyed back home to New York to the top-rated station, WBLS-FM. After making history as the first African-American woman to join an on-air team in rock radio at WRQX-FM, she landed her first on-camera position as an entertainment reporter on “PM Magazine,” which aired on Washington, D.C.’s CBS affiliate, WUSA.
