News

Welcome to Kimberly Ann's Designs Studio, a renowned Arts & Entertainment - Visual Arts and Design establishment. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all our patrons. However, we acknowledge the need to address an unfortunate incident involving a Dallas woman who faced retaliation after reporting a case of sexual harassment during one of our faith-based Holy Yoga classes.

The Incident

On September 4, 2018, a brave woman attending our Holy Yoga class found the courage to report an incident of sexual harassment that occurred during the session. Our studio firmly believes in maintaining a respectful and safe space, where everyone can practice yoga without fear or discomfort.

The Journey of Justice

Upon learning about the incident, Kimberly Ann's Designs Studio immediately initiated a comprehensive investigation into the matter. Our priority was to protect the well-being and rights of our practitioners. We took the allegations seriously and recognized the importance of addressing them with urgency and transparency.

We initiated disciplinary measures against the yoga instructor accused of sexual harassment. The individual was immediately suspended pending the investigation. Furthermore, we made it clear to our entire staff that any form of harassment, be it physical or verbal, would not be tolerated within the confines of our studio.

We also reached out to the brave woman affected by the incident to express our sincerest apologies and to offer our support. Our primary goal was to provide her with the necessary resources and guidance to cope with the aftermath of the traumatic experience.

Creating Change for a Safer Future

At Kimberly Ann's Designs Studio, we understand that one incident is one too many. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and heard. As a result of this unfortunate event, we have implemented several key measures to ensure the security and well-being of our clients:

  4. Educational Awareness: We believe in creating awareness and educating our community about the importance of consent, respect, and boundaries. We regularly hold workshops and seminars to promote a culture of inclusivity and understanding.
