The team behind Milk and Honey are Lani Purkis and Teresa Patterson. They have three key aims:
- To celebrate the incredibly talented women who work in all facets of the New Zealand music industry;
- To make female artists and crew visible to younger women, and encourage them to see many different possible roles they could find for themselves in the music industry;
- To provide a safe, inclusive, respectful festival and gig environment.
“We really wanted to create something where younger girls and women have someone to look up to and aspire to, and something where women are very clearly visible in all parts of the event.”
