Stolen - In conversation with Aunty Brenda Matthews

As NAIDOC Week begins, Megan and Shannon sit down with Aunty Brenda Matthews—proud Wiradjuri woman, author, filmmaker, speaker and survivor of the Stolen Generations—to share the deeply personal story behind one of Australia's most painful chapters. Taken from her family as a young child, Brenda grew up between two worlds, carrying questions of identity, belonging and truth that would shape the course of her life. With extraordinary grace, she reflects on the reality of being separated from her family, the search for justice, and the love that carried her through it all. This conversation isn't about politics. It's about people. It's about listening to lived experience and recognising that reconciliation begins with truth.
