Milly: Your dark past can become your greatest gift – my journey into journalism

Milly shares her story from her introduction to radio in rehab, to becoming a regular reporter for Radio 4’s flagship programme; Woman’s Hour, where she’s found her niche in reporting on subjects she has personal experience of, telling stories with nuance and empathy.  Join in the conversation online using #BeingtheStory
