Happy Mother’s Day to the women who held everything together quietly, fiercely, lovingly.

The women who immigrated here with nothing certain ahead of them.
The women who sacrificed careers, comfort, sleep, time, dreams so their children could have more choices.

We’re honoring our moms today.
Leaving the Philippines in their 30s with young kids, starting over in a completely different country without knowing what life would look like next.

So much of Malaya exists because of that courage.

Today we celebrate all forms of mothering - birth moms, chosen moms, aunties, lolas, stepmoms, mentors, dog moms, grieving moms, healing moms, and the women learning to mother themselves too.

Thank you for the love you pour into the world, even when nobody sees it.

Today marks 42 years since my family immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines.

I don’t think we talk enough about what that actually takes.

My parents were in their 30s, with three young kids, starting over in a completely new country.
No job lined up.
Leaving behind family, friends, and lives they had already built…
careers as an accountant at a major bank, a professor at University of the Philippines, and a Market Research Analyst at San Miguel Beer.

They walked away from all of that… for the possibility of something more.

The fear.
The pressure to make it worth it.
The unspoken responsibility to build a life that justifies the sacrifice.

And at the same time…
the strength it creates.
The resilience. The resourcefulness. The quiet belief that you’ll figure it out, no matter what.

I’m still unpacking what that journey means for me.
What I’ve carried. What I’ve had to unlearn. What I’m still becoming.

But I know this…
everything I’m building didn’t start with me.

Cannabis moving from Schedule I to III isn’t just policy…
it’s a reflection of something deeper shifting.

For years, this plant was categorized in a way that didn’t match lived experience.

Not for patients.
Not for practitioners.
Not for those of us building businesses rooted in care, education, and intention.

Now, with the Department of Health and Human Services recommending this reclassification through the Drug Enforcement Administration, we’re seeing a slow alignment between policy and reality.

Practically, this could mean the removal of Internal Revenue Code Section 280E - a tax burden that has quietly shaped the entire industry. That alone changes how businesses survive.

But beyond operations, this moment carries something else:

Validation.

Not the kind we needed to begin - but the kind that shifts access, perception, and opportunity. At the same time, it raises important questions.

Who benefits from this shift?
Who gets left behind?
And how do we protect the integrity of a space that was built by legacy operators and small brands long before it was accepted?

At Malaya, we’ve always approached cannabis through the lens of wellness, ritual, and nervous system support. That doesn’t change. If anything, this moment deepens the responsibility to stay rooted in why we started.

Because while the system evolves, the work remains the same…

It’s not just a night market… it’s how you move through it 💚

From intuitive readings to flash tattoos, from mahjong tables to mental health check-ins and chiropractic adjustments - every activation is here to offer something a little deeper.

A moment to pause.
To play.
To connect.
To try something new.

Featuring:
Intuitive readings by Cosmic Faery Arts
Flash tattoos by Inkbold Studio .studio
Mahjong with Alameda Mahjong Social Club
Mental health check-ins with Therapinay
Chiropractic Adjustments with

These are the layers that make Malaya what it is - not just something you attend, but something you experience.

Come explore, stay curious, and follow what calls you!

Malaya has never been built alone.
It’s been shaped by the makers, artists, and small businesses who said yes to showing up, sharing their work, and growing alongside us.

Some of these vendors have been with us since Day 1…
some are newer to the community…
but all of them are part of what makes Malaya what it is.

To every artisan who has trusted this space, set up a table, poured into their craft, and showed up with heart - we see you, and we appreciate you more than you know.

This Night Market is a reflection of that.
Of community. Of creativity. Of choosing to build something together.

Come support these incredible vendors, discover something new, and feel the energy they bring into the space 💚

Rainy days always feel like an invitation to slow down… so we’re leaning into it 🌧️

If you need somewhere to land this weekend, come by Malaya.
Light a candle, blend a scent, make something with your hands. No pressure, just space to reset.

We’ve got our rainy day specials going, but honestly, it’s more about the feeling than the discount.

Come hang for a bit.
Bring a friend, or come solo.

While supplies last!
