Legend vs. Icon: Understanding the Difference

0 views

Dyana Williams is not just an industry legend, she is an industry icon. Forrty-six years in the game and still going strong, she just accepted a position with Radio One for a new full-time show, “Afternoon Delight,” from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Classix 107.9. Dyana is very well known in the industry and she could easily be the mayor of Philadelphia from the undying love and dedication she has for the city.

She is best friends with Radio One founder, Cathy Hughes, and goes into detail about how they met in this interview. Dyana has coached some of the biggest named singers and rappers in the industry and we could literally dedicate the entire magazine to Dyana’s accomplishments, but we only have space for a more concise version of her contributions to the industry. This year we give the Industry Icon honor to Dyana Williams in our Celebrating Women of Color in Media magazine.
