The primary outcome is focused on how hiring Karyn Wilson as our new admin/operations manager has helped Brownbody fulfill its mission by supporting the administrative and operational needs that support our programs that engage the communities we serve. Because of Wilson and the administrative support, Brownbody?s capacity has been increased enabling us to engage in more programming; for instance, in late spring 2021 Brownbody was able to participate in the virtual Blackness is arts festival and hold our first virtual complimentary public embodied racial consciousness workshop. Evaluation occurs via weekly ?check-in? meetings and Wilson submits monthly progress reports.
