Life lately~ It's been a minute since sharing any Life lately~ It's been a minute since sharing anything on my feed, so here's a post for the algo (and as proof that my business didn't shut down 🥴)! ✨ I recently purchased a small binder to hold art prints, stickers, and pins. I've been decluttering my room and this was one way to get the smaller stuff in a single place. It works perfectly, but it may be getting a bit snug 😅 Clutch in slide 8 made by talented bong Judy @rumduolthreads! She used leftover fabric from my custom dress + jacket that I sent over to her. We worked together on a clutch design and settled on the zipper style. Looking forward to using it! 🤩 I also got back into drawing. You can see my latest work over on my art page: @mealeaco.designs. I've been leaning into different techniques and art styles, just having fun with it all. I do have art prints on the way, including a new clothing design in collab with @rajanathreads again, so stay tuned!! My shop was recently decluttered as well to make way for new products (like the art prints). There were a lot of designs I didn't resonate with anymore. Trying to work on feeling more aligned with where I'm going with my art journey and what I wanna design for everyone 💗 📍 Stay up to date with me via stories, Threads, my art page, and my newsletter! #mealeacollection #lifeupdate #khmer #cambodian #lifeofanartist
Hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the Hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the new year with your loved ones! 💗 Here's a little video montage of snaps I took around Wat Dhammararam Buddhist Temple. It was hot, the food lines were long, I may have swallowed some powder from the kids throwing it around, but we had a great time! 😁 Looking to celebrate in the South next year...👀☺️🇰🇭 #khmernewyear #cambodiannewyear #khmer #cambodia #mealeacollection

So much gratitude for the Khmer community and ever So much gratitude for the Khmer community and everyone I was able to meet at this past weekend's Khmer Diaspora Conference. Every time my sis Ratha and I return to Lowell, we feel at home because of how warmly we're welcomed by everyone 🥹 I initially joined Ratha @rajanathreads to support her, but she made me co-presenter instead lol (public speaking is not my forte, so hopefully my nervousness wasn't too obvious 🫣) Getting the opportunity to present on our topic of Khmer fashion and textiles meant a lot to us. Many of us grew up seeing and wearing Khmer clothing, but how much do we really know about its history and how it impacts us today? This is something we got to explore in depth. We were grateful to hear so many of you enjoyed our presentation and that you learned something new! We also couldn’t have done it without Chom, our moderator, who supported us throughout and guided the opening, closing, and Q&A effortlessly. Thank you bong Christine @khmergenerations @khmerdiasporaconference for your tireless determination in getting this conference together and gathering Khmer folks from across the nation to share, learn, and connect with another. Our community has come such a long way. I kept thinking how I wish I had something like this when I was a college student, but experiencing it now feels just as meaningful 💗 #mealeacollection #khmer #cambodian #khmerdiaspora #cambodiandiaspora
@rajanathreads and I are thrilled to announce that @rajanathreads and I are thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to present at The Next 50 Years: Evolving from Surviving to Thriving in the Khmer Diaspora conference, sponsored by the University of Massachusetts and taking place March 27–29 in Lowell! 🙌🏼 @khmerdiasporaconference @khmergenerations We’re honored to deliver one of the plenary sessions on Saturday, the 28th. We’re especially excited that this may be the first time our topic, “Threads of Identity: Cambodian Textile and Fashion in the Diaspora” is discussed and received at this level of visibility and open dialogue. It’s a vital thread in our personal Khmer identity and the larger Cambodian diaspora story, one we’re deeply grateful to share with you all 💗 Please help circulate the flyer. Registration is limited. You can register by scanning the QR code. Don’t miss out! #khmerconference #mealeacollection #khmer #cambodian
Hopping on a trend #thisiswho ☺️✨ In case you wer Hopping on a trend #thisiswho ☺️✨ In case you were wondering, my shop is open! Usually I'll have new product announcements around this time, but I've been experiencing a creative block and also just wanted a break from the business grind. I don't have anything lined up right now, but this *can* change as I've been slowly sketching new product ideas (whatever my creative energy allows). I'm still active in stories and also started a Substack account to brush up on my writing. Subscribe to Monyda Musings (link in bio) to follow! 🙏🏼 #mealeacollection #khmer #khmerkrom #cambodian
