    just a lil late

    For a long time, I did not like nor care for makeup. While my sisters slathered their faces in foundation and powder, I slathered mine with lotion. Whenever I would get my makeup done by them for events, I felt…

@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

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! 🙏🏼

🌸 5 years of Mealea Collection! 🥳✨🙏🏼 Developing a 🌸 5 years of Mealea Collection! 🥳✨🙏🏼

Developing an idea I hadn’t yet seen in the diaspora was a daunting task. You have Khmer writers, actors, dancers, musicians, chefs, etc. to look to, but a creative earring/jewelry maker? There wasn’t one that I knew of. So I carefully studied my favorite acrylic earring makers and taught myself how to work with laser-cutting processes and businesses.

The journey wasn’t easy. There was a lot of trial and error, but I trudged on, inspired to keep creating what didn’t yet exist.

In the span of 5 years, I’ve made over 50 designs (including all the different variants) that have traveled across the country and around the world. I appreciate everyone who has supported me over the years, who’s shared my work online and in person, worn my designs with pride at events and during important moments, encouraged me when times got tough, and stayed with me through all my different phases. Mealea Collection wouldn’t have made it this far without all of your love and support! 🥹💗

Thank you for allowing me to continue making fun, purposeful, creative jewelry and art for you all. It has changed my life in ways I never could’ve imagined if I hadn’t taken the jump.

If you ever needed a sign today, let this be the one telling you to JUST DO IT. Even if it’s scary, even if you’re the first one. You won’t know where it can lead you unless you take that first step. Start on your dreams NOW! 🙌🏼✨💗

These are a few of my favorite books that I turn t These are a few of my favorite books that I turn to time and time again not only for inspo, but also to learn how to draw specific Khmer motifs and styles.

Aside from books, I like to analyze my pictures from Cambodia and ones I find online for a more detailed look at shapes, lines, and features of devatas and other figures.

Khmer artists: Do you reference these books too? Where or what do you seek for inspiration?
