POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

If you’ve lived in Durham for a while, you’ve probably heard of Pierce Freelon.

From serving on the City Council from 2020 to 2021, to his career as a Grammy-nominated musical artist, to his founding of a creative arts organization for Black teenagers known as Blackspace, Freelon has worn many hats. Now, he is adding one more.

In an unassuming former church, former coffee shop, and most recently former vacant property in East Durham, a hand-painted sign gives a hint at what lies inside: Freelon’s newest project, a freeze-dried ice cream company named Coco Fro.
