Malia moved to Nashville, TN, during the Summer of 2021. Malia was born in Juneau, Alaska, and lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the majority of her school years. Since graduating from college in 2007, Malia has lived in quite a few places: Los Angeles, South Korea, Denver, a quick stint in NYC, and now Nashville. Malia has worked in the Entertainment Industry, taught English in Korea, and currently works in the Travel industry. Since moving to Nashville, she has felt an immense creative inspiration and spends her free time dabbling in the local fashion scene, and is now working to bring more awareness to the booze-free side of Nashville.
Malia has never been good at drinking. Anytime she drank, she wasn’t really sure if it would result in a 24-48 hour incapaciting, puking every hour on the hour, migraine level hangover- or if she’d simply be able to muster up the ability to make it through the next day. It was always a gamble. Since she moved to Nashville when everything had opened back up to 100% capacity, post-Covid, she came in wanting to experience everything Music City had to offer.
In April 2024, Malia decided to stop drinking for 30 days. She felt that she needed a reset, and she wanted to see if it was even possible to find non-alcoholic drinks at the never-ending amount of bars and restaurants Nashville has to offer. It turns out it is. And that’s what this page is all about. ❤
