I planted tomatoes and cucumbers surrounded by marigolds and herbs like basil and dill whose work is quiet and essential. This set up supports good growth with pest deterrents, pollinator magnets and is beautiful enough to lift my spirits. However, I have watched myself wanting to intervene to rush my garden’s growth. To fix. To check, and check again, and ask why the green tomatoes aren’t turning yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62217c06dd6b134797b9595e/712da87e-5fe7-450e-bd06-0e000e27e5b9/grotto.jpeg Reflections & Curiosities with Amani - Process Evaluation as a Liberatory Practice - Another element that primes us to tend to our processes is that the container shapes what it holds. The infrastructure an organization builds includes your process, your culture, your internal agreements, your pace. And like the container you grow your plants in, this infrastructure shapes your organization’s capacity to reach its outcomes, develop and sustain relationships, and make meaningful impact. This matters because a rushed, hierarchical, disembodied process cannot hold relational, healing-centered outcomes. So process evaluation must matter. Because if you're not examining how you move, you may be sending a message and growing conditions you never meant to create. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62217c06dd6b134797b9595e/56614b62-b864-4220-a80b-cf425177b3ea/Bday+dinner+Small.jpeg Reflections & Curiosities with Amani - Process Evaluation as a Liberatory Practice - From the Kitchen to the Dining Room If you’ve been watching The Bear on FX, you’ve been watching a live illustration of this argument. Both the challenge and the beauty, the chaos and the gained cohesion. People working together for the love of what they do and leaning on one another to each play their role with integrity. How the team feels and flows impacts how the community experiences its efforts. https://www.aadvocateswith.com/blog/evaluation-as-reclamation-resource-and-repair monthly 0.5 2026-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62217c06dd6b134797b9595e/cb5d70b8-c96d-4cdd-a36a-416a9d80f526/1.png Reflections & Curiosities with Amani -
