Bol Mayan

Antenna Award 2023 Winner · Young Citizen of the Year 2023

Founder of The Seed Network, Bol Mayan is a storyteller, community leader, and award-winning producer dedicated to reshaping narratives and amplifying underrepresented voices across Australia.

What began as a personal journey to better understand his own culture has grown into a powerful platform showcasing stories from POC and diverse communities — creating impact through media, workshops, and youth programs.

From home studio conversations after COVID to national television through C31, Bol has built The Seed Network into something bigger than content: a movement grounded in culture, opportunity, collaboration, and community.
