She won the "Breakout YouTuber" category at the 10th Shorty Awards in 2018. Her videos have been compared to the films of John Hughes.

Her family appears in many of her videos, her mother's name is Janette Prejola and her younger brother's name is Jay Mills.

YouTube career At the beginning of 2017, she had about 15,000 subscribers on YouTube. Her channel gained subscribers very quickly after her coming-of-age videos went viral later that year. In particular, her November 2017 coming out video, in which she came out as bisexual, pushed her over the million-subscriber mark.

Mills signed with Fullscreen in June 2017, and they produced her first ever tour in the spring of 2018. That May, she had a mental breakdown and posted a video announcing that she would take a break from making new videos. She returned to YouTube a month later. She signed with United Talent Agency in December 2018.

As of December 2025, Mills has released two coming-of-age short films on her YouTube channel, REPLY and Don't Forget About Me.
