William Vazquez

Hello Tribe 🌎, My name is William Vazquez, the president & founder of @WeExploreEarth 🌲. I am the son of two beautiful, hard-working immigrants from Yahualica 🇲🇽, with indigenous roots in the Nahuas & Tecuexes people. I was born and raised in San Gabriel, CA, on Tongva Land 📍. I dreamt of being an astronaut to explore the universe. Instead, I explore Earth, finding ways to unite fellow inhabitants through music, entertainment & creating experiences that nurture both nature & our spirits. At 18, I began my first internship, which turned into a full-time job as a PA at @JimmyKimmelLive . This was followed by a 5+ year career in the music industry, where I gained experience as a full-time Event Producer w/ @DimMak + @SteveAoki / @Insomniac & various brand collections & other projects. Alongside my career, I threw fundraiser events over the years to feed the homeless, trail maintenance projects, buy clothing & school supplies for schools in high-poverty areas & donate to charities. All of this played a part in shaping me into the person I believe the universe intended, after it handed me the growing idea we can all relate with @WeExploreEarth 🌿 I planted @WeExploreEarth in 2017 within the growing outdoors community as a 501(3)(c). Since then, your organization has been thriving beautifully. That's right. If you're reading this, it belongs to you as much as it belongs to me. I've always treated it as belonging to EVERYONE: • All diverse underserved communities: Black, Indigenous & People Of Color, LGBTQ+ & all walks of life from areas. WEE see & hear you 🥾 • Those in poverty-stricken areas of Earth 🙏🏼 • The suffering oceans / nature areas from trash pollution & restoration/maintenance needed ♻️ • All walks of life. There’s nothing more punk rock than FREE nature experiences that explorers & stewards of the land. 🌎 I’m thankful for everyone who has taken their first steps outdoors with us, supported our expanding mission in the last few years by connecting with your org. - It feeds my spirit seeing everyone thrive. Here’s to a new year! WEE only getting started. Get ready, Tribe. Carpe Diem ❤️‍🔥 #ATribeCalledEarth

Feliz Día de las Madres, Amorcita 💐 Y feliz Día de las Madres a todas las mamás chingonas allá afuera, a todas las poderosas mujeres dadoras de vida, y también a nuestra Madre Tierra 🌎 Mucho amor y respeto para todas hoy y siempre. ❤️‍🔥

It takes a village :: A Tribe 🌎 To build community. To protect Mother Earth. To create free experiences that nurture thousands of people. To protect and restore the lands that hold us. To inspire exploration, stewardship, healing, connection, and a brighter future for the generations to come. This past Earth Month was a reminder that when people come together with intention, love, and care for one another and for Mother Earth, beautiful things can grow. In this short life we get to experience within the cosmos, I’m so honored to be doing meaningful work alongside an amazing team at We Explore Earth and as part of a beautiful interconnected community here in SoCal and beyond. Here’s to the @weexploreearth team + some of my favorite moments in the last 35 days & to Mother Earth 🌎 May we continue choosing connection, compassion, adventure, and purpose. Prayers to all those in spirit, in the present, and for the future of Mother Earth + the winged, 4 legged+, 2 legged & finned. 🥁🦅 ❤️‍🔥 Will #EarthDayEveryDay

@gellermusic and @weexploreearth getting people to touch nature in Los Angeles 🌱 I’m a huge proponent of creative experiences in nature to act as an entry point for people to get into the outdoors. As I always say, connection leads to protection. 🌲🎶🌎

Some people talk about getting back to nature. William Vasquez, Founder of @weexploreearth , built a whole movement around it—volunteer-run, barrier-free, and rooted in genuine care for the land and the communities that call it home. We sat down with @iamwillv to talk about the vision and evolution of the nonprofit providing an open invitation to nature. Read the full article through the link in bio. #drinkRIVR
