This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Akalema Pherribo — a beloved local Chapel Hill transit operator, who made public transit possible for nearly two decades, who left us all too soon. Pherribo’s time as a pillar of community and inspiration to people all over our community lives on in all of us, and we recognize his influence by making him this week’s Hometown Hero.
Listen to this week’s Hometown Hero segment below, and check in next week for another recognition of someone who is making a difference in our community!
