Cinco de Mayo, Puebla York, and the Power of Community: Mixteca on WNYC

On this year’s Cinco de Mayo, our Director of Development, María Ponce Sevilla, joined The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC to reflect on the meaning of the day, the cultural richness of Mexican communities in New York, and the evolving identity of “Puebla York.” María spoke about Mixteca’s 25-year journey supporting Latinx and Indigenous immigrants, the impact of federal and local funding challenges, and how traditions like language, food, and intergenerational life shape our city.
