"After years of pop-up business, owner Ashley Marrero opened Kente Cones' first brick-and-mortar location in June. Its ice cream and treats tell the story of Afro-American history, each telling a story and educating Brooklynites. Outside of the shop, Marrero visits schools to provide concrete examples of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) to the next generation of scoopers. Flavors like "Granny's Favorite," "Shirley Salted Caramel" and "Mansa Musa's Golden Scoop" are just a few ways Marrero helps connect with the community."
