The NJ PBS digital documentary series “21” examines a simple question: Does where you live in the state affect how you live? The “21” series profiles one person in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties and looks at the social determinants that affect that person’s life.
The latest film introduces Shayla Cabrera from Hudson County; she started a small community business called Tia Planta that focuses on horticulture and plant-based medicine. Cabrera now has bigger aspirations, as one of the only women in New Jersey with a license to grow cannabis. Representation in new industry is personal for Cabrera, whose father is still incarcerated for selling marijuana.
