Co-founder of Pinnacle Performance Company, Mills co-wrote and co-produced The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Trial in the Delta for NBC and Collaboraction, which won a 2022 Emmy Award (Chicago/Midwest). He also consulted on the MSNBC program All In America: Chicago, which won a 2018 Emmy for Outstanding News Discussion and Analysis.
