Welcome to FolklorNYC
Hi, I’m María Vázquez—a Latina with deep roots in San Miguel de Allende and a heart for the vibrant energy of New York City. FolklorNYC is where I share my journey, my passions, and the things that inspire me. This space is meant to be a reflection of who I am—a blend of tradition, creativity, and connection.
Meet María Ydelin
I grew up surrounded by the colorful traditions of Mexico, where every celebration was filled with meaning, culture, and a sense of togetherness. Now, living in New York, I carry those values with me while embracing the city’s fast pace and endless opportunities. I’m someone who thrives on building connections, celebrating stories, and finding beauty in both the grand and simple moments of life.
Who I am
What I Do
I wear many hats: connector, storyteller, collaborator. FolklorNYC is a space where I explore projects, build relationships, and share inspiring ideas. From celebrating the charm of San Miguel to embracing New York’s energy, everything I do is about blending worlds and creating something meaningful.
Community: I love bringing people together. Whether it’s through a shared project, a creative idea, or just meaningful conversation, I believe we grow stronger when we connect.
Culture: My heritage is a big part of who I am, and I enjoy finding ways to celebrate and share it with others. From vibrant art to heartfelt traditions, culture fuels my creativity.
Giving Back: Supporting causes that matter is close to my heart, empowering the Latinx community, promoting art, volunteering, or helping animals in need.
