Where to Find Us.
A pop-up masala chai shop and liberation space for the chai-aspora.
LA is home to the fifth largest concentration of South Asian Americans in the US as well as chai lovers and activists across other marginalized identities - yet it’s hard to find a good cup of chai!
Masalawali means "spice merchant," and we intend to host spicy conversations that uplift our own and other marginalized communities. We hope you'll join us in the collective fight for moksha -- or liberation -- over a good-ass cup of chai!

Showcasing the work of a talented Palestinian photographer, Fadi A. Thabet, a photographer and human rights activist born in the central area of Gaza in 1978. Fadi became a photographer to document the struggles of his people. He also works with children living through the nightmares of the Gaza genocide to heal their traumas through artistic expression.
Fadi's inspirational, beautiful and sometimes heart rending photos will be available to purchase. The exhibit will include a video interview of Fadi talking about his work. Palestinian food will be available from lunch time until it is sold out. All proceeds from this event will support Fadi's mutual aid work in Gaza, including the building of wells in the North.
