Still is an Aesthetic Flat Closure (AFC) advocacy project that creates awareness of AFC as a mastectomy reconstruction choice and promotes flat visibility and body positivity.
What’s that look like? It started with creating a collection of diverse stories and images of those who chose to go flat after mastectomy. And it is culminating in the creation of two publications and a poster show to create enduring AFC visibility.
Still Anthology
The Still Anthology is a 132-page book that powerfully illustrates the truth that women are more than breasts and that the potential to live whole, beautiful lives without boobs is more than possible—and can be profoundly beautiful.
This book features diverse, raw, real, and unfiltered stories of twelve flatties paired with profoundly beautiful, dynamic, and compelling photos.
Together, these stories and images deliver an uplifting and powerful message for those facing mastectomies and making reconstruction choices, healthcare providers, and the public.
Still Compendium
The Still Compendium is a resource for healthcare providers and patients making reconstruction decisions.
This is a 36-page booklet featuring the twelve flatties from the Still Anthology that provides beautiful examples of what aesthetic flat closure and life after going flat can look like.
The Still Compendium is clean and suitable for hospitals, medical practices, and all patients.
Still Poster Show
This traveling poster exhibit features twelve stunning international size posters of the Still flatties and a video companion piece that tells the story of how Still was created.
The posters feature striking images and powerfully communicate how they are Still, sans breasts. The poster show will be exhibited in galleries and museums to foster flat visibility and body positivity, and normalize flat.

Still is Hope
The love, care, and respect that was put into Still is beyond comprehension. We cheered, we screamed, we laughed, we danced, we cried. I have never felt more seen in my life. Lisa and her incredible team came together to make the incredible happen. This is changing the world for flatties. —Jaclyn
In the midst of making a plethora of choices regarding our very survival, every one of us made a choice—a choice that was questioned by the medical field, by society, by friends and family. Are you sure? As if it’s the most abnormal choice in the world. This project is the ripple the world needs —to normalize flat—to find and accept true beauty far beneath the surface. —Sheryl
This idea has turned into so much more. This is hope for the ones who were told different, the ones who don’t realize what we already have…We define us! We are #StillUs #StillHere and #StillStrong! –Starr
