Millward initially worked as a researcher for independent film and television productions.[11] She then founded the Birds Eye View film festival with Pinny Grylls in 2002 to showcase films made by women.[11][12] Millward served as the festival's director until 2014,and the festival has since evolved into the charity Reclaim the Frame.[13] In August 2006,Millward was nominated as a "world changing woman" by The Guardian for her work with Birds Eye View.[14] In 2009,she was awarded a fellowship by the Clore Duffield Foundation as part of their leadership programme and was nominated in the media category at the Women of the Future awards.[15][16] From 2014 to 2016,Millward was the arts director at The Old Church in Stoke Newington.[10][17] She then served as an executive director at Sam Lee's Nest Collective from 2016 to 2020.[10]
In July 2023,Millward was selected as the Green Party's prospective candidate for the constituency of Sussex Weald,but withdrew in May 2024 over concerns about being both a parliamentary candidate and leader of the council.[1][24] In June 2025,Millward announced her candidacy for the Green Party deputy leadership election.[25] Due to Zack Polanski winning the leadership election,Millward and Mothin Ali were elected as joint–deputy leaders,as the Green Party constitution stipulates that if there is a singular leader,there must be two deputy leaders.[3][26]
Millward lives in Hartfield with her husband and two children.[18] Her elder daughter was born on the opening day of the 2010 Birds Eye View film festival.[11]
