A published writer & columnist (Unicef, Celebrate MK, BBC) Milise uses his platform to position himself as a voice for the voiceless.
Since writing what he calls his flagship piece “Knife Sentence” Mr Milise (Real Name Quinton Green) has partnered with Prison Reform Services, Charities, Church Groups, Police Forces and County Councils to help Young People and Adults articulate and express their thoughts, feelings, anxieties and frustrations through creative writing.
As a professional Youth Mentor he has collaborated with Hertfordshire Constabulary, Cleveland Police Crimes Commission, Essex Police and Northampton (CIRV)
Mr Milise's work is recognised by news outlets across the country.
Mr Milise has also been commissioned by BBC Northampton Radio to write a piece that reflects the rich history of his home town Northamptonshire.
Mr Milise has a particular interest in working with Young Offenders to help change anti social beliefs, behaviours and attitudes.
He feels it’s important to inspire, nurture aspirations and advocate positive mood states
Having come from a disaffected background with adverse childhood experiences and falling into brief spells on the wrong side of the law, Milise is keen to use his lived experience to help improve the trajectory of Young People and Adults that have found themselves in a cycle of recidivism.

Mr Milise spoke to the BBC recently and said: “I like to think that I have positioned myself as a real example of change. A few years ago I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing Today and working as a Professional Youth Mentor and Public Speaker in partnership with The Police ”
The founder of Knife Crime Victim Support has seen real results since collaborating with Local Authorities as part of his “Music, Mentoring, Arts & Poetry” Initiative.
He has seen Young People that he has worked with enrol in college, progress into semi independent living, sign up for apprenticeships and have court orders revoked for 100% attendance and excellent engagement
