Uncle Mot (or Mot as he goes by) is a Taungurung Man living in Muloobinba/ Newcastle. Mot is an Indigenous food enthusiast who likes to focus on taking the interactions his old people would have had with the ocean and giving it a fresh spin with creative recipes.
He hosts the YouTube channel Uncle Mot’s Kitchen
On a weekend you could find Mot diving into the ocean to bring back tasty treats or what is more commonly known as lobster, fish and scallops.
Mot loves to interact with people from all walks of life, from chefs to celebs to the everyday person, spreading his knowledge and bounding enthusiasm with people who are looking to learn about Indigenous food practice.
Mot feels most alive when he is out in the action; walking bush trails, diving under water or sharing stories around a fire with damn good food.
At Awesome Black we don’t like to talk about the deficit that First Nations people have gone through, we don’t like to talk about the history of government failures and the effects they have had on our communities. We recognise that they have happened, but we want to talk about what we can do right now to get things moving forward for us, by us.
At Awesome Black we are attempting to create a system where wealth stays in our communities and we can build up Blakenomics, supporting each other’s businesses and community. At every point when we buy something we think… can we buy this from a First Nations person, if the answer is yes we do it, if the answer is no… we ask more questions. Why not? And how do we make sure that we can in the future?
Awesome Black acknowledges the traditional owners across the lands on which we live and work.
Awesome Black is about First Nations, first in everything we do. A community of skilled creators are ready to collaborate. If you have an idea for a project get in touch.
