Dionne Anderson-Whetstone
Assistant Secretary

If your spiritual appetite is hearty, your palette will be pleased to satisfaction with the feast served up for “Bread of Heaven” on WXVI-AM 1600 Sunday afternoons with Dionne Anderson-Whetstone. 

The Birmingham native received her formal education in the Birmingham Public School System and later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism from Alabama State University in 1995. Later that same year, she was tapped by WXVI-AM as an announcer and has remained a part of the 1600 family for 11-years.

Anderson-Whetstone is a local promoter who showcases unsigned talent from the regional area. Away from the airwaves, her number #1 job and greatest pleasure comes through her son, Tyler Emanuel. A member of Freewill Missionary Baptist Church where Reverend Edward J. Nettles is the pastor, she firmly believes that with “God, all things are possible. If you got the faith, then God’s got the power.”  On Sundays, Anderson-Whetstone keeps the table set and there’s always a feast going on.
