In a culturally inspired initiative, the staff of Soul House Academy in Mokokchung have embraced ‘Mekhela Wednesday.’ This workplace movement aims to redefine conventional attire for women, transforming the traditional mekhela from occasional wear into everyday work wear, particularly in urban areas.
The ‘Mekhela Wednesday’ initiative, originally launched in Kohima, has gained momentum and extended to various parts of the state. It encourages women to wear mekhela to their workplaces on Wednesdays.
Seen here is the staff of Soul House Academy in their mekhelas on Wednesday, 30 August.
