JC Locals is all about using our platform to share the different perspectives of Jersey City residents, whether they’ve lived here for 3 years or 30 years.

Our next JC Local is Vanessa Cabrera, a 26-year-old Jersey City native who has lived in different neighborhoods in the city throughout her life. We had the chance to sit down with her to get her perspective on the changes in the city and her overall experience as a longtime resident.
