Mata will share stories of an individual’s plant-medicine journey, their lived experiences, the stigma and barriers that they face. The stories told on Mata will reflect the vulnerability, joy, pain and healing of countless individuals who have gone through a healthcare system feeling unheard and unseen.

Kori Keed and Jacob Keed are the Co founders of Walamarra Botanicals, the first and only Indigenous owned medicinal cannabis company in Australia.
The two brothers are from Wiradjuri Country, New South Wales, where it is rich with fertile dirt and connected by beautiful flowing waters that springs from the three rivers that unite the lands of the Wiradjuri people: the Murrumbidgee, the Lachlan and the Macquarie.
In this interview, the two brothers share how storytelling, their connection to Country and culture have guided and supported them throughout their lives.
