ATLANTA, GA, February 24, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After being convicted of conspiracy to commit interstate commerce of a mislabeled and misbranded device, Kimberly Smedley was sent to prison. However, Smedley never stopped dreaming and striving. Her autobiography, The Backside of the Story, shares the tales of the underground world of silicone injections. The book is an entertaining and quick read, full of intrigue and forces one's own introspection. It can be purchased online at http://www.Amazon.com.
Today, along with being an author, Smedley is a motivational speaker and entrepreneur who strives to encourage others to never give up and to value themselves. Who better to share this story of redemption than someone who reached the false pinnacle of wealth, mingled with celebrities and fell to the depths of prison? Smedley understands first-hand the challenges of putting her life back together and believes her story of redemption can help others.
"The book brings to light the esteem issues in today's society and discusses what actually makes us beautiful--from the inside out," said Smedley. "More than 14.6 million cosmetic plastic surgeries are performed annually, and I hope that my book makes women - and men - become introspective about what makes them happy and beautiful. Look, I've been there and I believe that my story is an inspirational message about self-esteem, redemption and starting over."
Smedley began her career by working as a cosmetologist in an Atlanta salon. She dreamed of owning her own salon and taking control of her destiny. To her detriment, she made a decision that was profitable short-term, but lead to long-term consequences. She became a specialist in the black market butt injection world, where she found fortune traveling the world to administer these illegal "shots." After her downfall and rebuilding her life late in 2014, Smedley realized her original dream and opened her own spa, All About Waxing & Threading.
