You’ve mastered the art of deception. You wear confidence like a second skin, move through life like you have it all together, and play the role they expect of you. But deep down, you know—it’s a lie.

There’s a version of you that exists beneath the performance, beneath the perfectionism, beneath the desperate need for validation. And she’s tired of hiding.

Liar in Stilettos is an unfiltered, no-holds-barred guide to finally shedding the false self you’ve outgrown. With raw storytelling, hard truths, and the kind of big-sis energy that won’t let you settle, Kimberly Mathis walks you through the funeral of the liar, the messy middle of transformation, and the radical freedom of walking in your truth.

You don’t need permission to take up space.
You don’t need validation to be worthy.
You don’t need to prove yourself to be enough.
You were always enough.

The liar had her moment. Now, it’s your time.

Some girls are born into fairy tales. Others have to survive their origin story.

Dope Girl is the unflinching, unforgettable memoir of Kimberly Mathis, who grew up in the shadow of her mother’s addiction and the silence it demanded. With prose that cuts like glass and heals like gospel, Kimberly leads us through the wreckage of secrets, survival, and the invisible inheritance of trauma—where love and loss often wore the same face.

From talking to her mother through the glass wall of a prison visitation room to building a life that defied every statistic, this is the story of what it means to love someone who's breaking you, to mother when you were never mothered, and to find power in the truth after generations of lies. Written not from bitterness but from deep healing, Dope Girl is both a mirror and a megaphone—for every woman who’s ever carried the weight of someone else’s choices and still chosen to rise.

Because some stories don’t start with once upon a time. They start with survival—and end in self-liberation.
