MARIA Legarda

Maria Legarda is a Colombian actress, content creator, businesswoman and philanthropist. Her content consists of cooking and lifestyle videos. Maria, being an immigrant to the U.S., has a strong desire to stay connected to her Colombian roots - this is what leads her to express her vivacious personality and witty sense of humor through cultural exchange and entertaining food content.

In 2022, one of Maria's videos of her making "Cheesy Colombian Hot Chocolate" went viral, and she received so much bullying from it.

This made her realize that many people are just not often enough exposed to different cultures, traditions and customs. She took it upon herself to create content that would normalize trying and embracing food from all over the world. She is now most known for her unique recipes and videos where she showcases herself trying various cuisines from fast food to local cultural gems all with an upbeat, positive energy. She uses food as a way to connect across cultures and celebrate our differences.
