Whenever someone asked, “Why the white bougainvillea?”
White was the color of peace.
White was the color of new beginnings.
White was the color of a wound finally closing.
And so Malkia Sanctuary was named—not only after her, but after the spirit of queenship she carried within her:
strength without cruelty, gentleness without weakness.
Because it bloomed where it shouldn’t have.
Because it showed resilience can be soft.
Because healing, like white petals, begins quietly—
and grows into something breathtaking.
