Weaving Dreams

In this heartfelt tribute, Sonia Oinam brings her mother's incredible journey to life-an inspiring tale of a Manipuri mother of six who defied poverty and adversity with unwavering strength, determination and faith. From her humble beginnings, Ima rose to become a successful handloom weaver and entrepreneur, empowering herself and countless others in her community. Her story is intertwined with the legendary Ima Keithel, Asia's largest all-women's market, symbolising the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of Manipuri women.
