Tonya Dyson is the marketing coordinator for Memphis in May, which means she gets to promote the giant annual festival which is celebrating the Philippines in 2012. The LeMoyne-Owen graduate is possibly one of the most active people in town - she's written a one-woman play, just finished her first record ("Finding My Way", September) and she volunteers for Neosoulsville, Memphis Urban League Young Professional, the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival and the Levitt Shell.
