Our Company: Meet Shantel Morris, Founder of Herbs Terps Roots

At just 25 years old, Shantel Morris stands as the youngest female sole proprietor of a licensed cannabis company in Jamaica—a pioneering role that blends business acumen, Rasta heritage, and a deep passion for natural healing. Born and raised in the rural hills of Westmoreland, Shantel’s roots run deep in the soil of Jamaica, where she grew up on a self-sustaining farm in a traditional Rasta household. Her upbringing was steeped in the natural way of life: from sunrise to sunset, she witnessed the power of herbal remedies, organic farming, and ganja, which was both a spiritual sacrament and a medicinal tool used in her family.

Shantel’s father, a lifelong farmer, cultivated and sold ganja to support his family, instilling in Shantel an appreciation for the plant’s economic and healing potential. Her mother, who used ganja in holistic remedies, taught her the healing properties of herbs, making them the first line of defense against illness. These experiences formed the foundation for Shantel’s lifelong commitment to preserving Jamaican natural remedies and promoting herbal medicine as a healthier, more sustainable alternative to pharmaceuticals.

A Visionary Leader for a New Era of Wellness

Shantel pursued formal education at Lewisville High School and later attended Bethlehem Moravian College, where she studied Information Technology. Despite her technical background, Shantel’s heart remained tied to her roots. Inspired by her family’s legacy and the desire to protect Jamaica’s indigenous plant knowledge, Shantel founded Herbs Terps Roots (HTR) as a natural healing center that champions both Rasta culture and holistic wellness.

Shantel believes that all diseases have a natural cure, and she is dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional remedies and modern science. She integrates scientific research to validate and promote the efficacy of natural medicines, ensuring that Herbs Terps Roots is not only a center for healing but also a beacon of knowledge. To her, ganja is not just a plant—it is a powerful tool for physical healing, spiritual growth, and cultural preservation. This philosophy is at the heart of HTR’s mission to empower people to embrace natural remedies and rediscover the ancient wisdom of herbal healing.

Empowering Women and Preserving Culture

Shantel’s story is also a testament to woman empowerment. As a young female entrepreneur in a traditionally male-dominated industry, she strives to inspire other women to step into leadership roles and make their mark in the world of business. Her journey has not been without its challenges, but she sees each obstacle as a stepping stone to greater success. Shantel is committed to ensuring that Herbs Terps Roots not only flourishes as a leading cannabis and wellness brand but also stands as a symbol of female strength and resilience.

Building a Legacy in Ganja Cultivation

Ganja plays a central role at HTR, and Shantel’s commitment to quality, purity, and sustainability is unwavering. She is currently on a mission to expand the company’s seed bank by sourcing elite genetics from California, Colorado, Maine, and other cannabis hotspots. With plans to cultivate high-grade strains at HTR’s ideal grow location in Cave, Westmoreland, Shantel is poised to elevate Jamaican ganja to new heights, blending the island’s unique sun, soil, and water with some of the world’s best genetics.

A Mother, a Wife, a Humanitarian

Beyond her role as a businesswoman, Shantel is a loving wife to her husband Michael and a devoted mother to her beautiful daughter Bianca. Shantel and Michael, who hails from the United States, chose to raise Bianca in Jamaica so she could experience the same rich culture and beautiful childhood that Shantel was blessed with. For Shantel, family is at the core of everything she does, and her vision for Herbs Terps Roots is fueled by the desire to create a legacy that Bianca—and the entire community—can be proud of.

A True Humanitarian at Heart

Despite her business success, Shantel’s humanitarian spirit remains as strong as ever. She is known for her ability to connect with people, sense their energies, and offer guidance and healing. This ability to empathize and uplift others has made her a beloved figure in the community and a trusted advisor for those seeking spiritual and physical well-being.

Herbs Terps Roots isn’t just a business—it’s a manifestation of Shantel’s love for her culture, her people, and the natural world. Her goal is to ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the healing powers of herbs, and that Jamaica’s proud Rasta heritage is celebrated, protected, and preserved for years to come.
