If there’s one word to describe Dominique Mitchell, it’s survivor. Before she survived breast cancer, she survived sexual assault<\/a>. Although she overcame each experience differently, one thing didn’t change: her refusal to give up.<\/p>\n As a single mother, Mitchell’s battle with cancer was about more than just herself; it was about her two children, too. Sure, some moments were harder than others. But she knew she had to be strong, even when she couldn't get her self-esteem "off the floor," as she put it.<\/p>\n “Some days I take 100 pictures because I looked abnormal in 99 of them. Sometimes I make different body movements and facial expression in the mirror because I don’t want to look ugly in the real world,” Mitchell wrote in an Instagram post on the page @yourunlikeagirl<\/a> alongside a photo showing her mastectomy scars.<\/p>\n RELATED: <\/strong>Why This Woman Chose Not to Rebuild Her Boobs After Finding a Lump at Age 42<\/a><\/p>\n It’s not always easy to be strong, but Mitchell knows she has what it takes. “Today, I said I am just as great as any woman I cross paths with. Today, I embraced my scars and embraced the stares of those who don’t understand.”<\/p>\n She's made a promise to herself to embrace womanhood without breasts, and she has a powerful reason behind the promise: “I am going to do everything in my power to embrace every scar, out loud, every day. And it’s not to be sexy for anyone, it’s because I have to be okay with being unapologetically me, and I cannot do that subtly.”<\/p>\n
