Washington, DC hosts World Pride in 2025! We are excited to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Story District’s Out/Spoken during this historic occasion. For 15 years, Story District has been bringing LGBTQ+ stories to the stage: real, personal, and unforgettable. This year, as World Pride 2025 comes to DC, we’re making it even bigger. Produced by Story District and hosted by comedian and storyteller Anthony Oakes, eight storytellers will share moments that shaped them, like falling in love and facing their fears. Some stories will make you laugh, others will make you think, but every one of them will highlight the power of a well-told story. Whether you’ve been part of Out/Spoken from the start or you’re coming for the first time, this is a night to celebrate, reflect, and be in community. Join us at Howard Theatre on May 24 for an evening of stories that bring us together. Tickets: https://www.storydistrict.org/tickets

Writers often grapple with the nuances of the human condition, and indeed many of its mysteries can unfold in stories that explore identity and belonging. Tope Folarin engages with local authors Patricia Coral, Majda Gama, and Varun Gauri to discuss the challenges and triumphs of self-identification.

To what extent did 9-man volleyball help Chinese immigrants preserve their culture?
HumanitiesDC & Ted Gong Present Culture Series: 9-Man, a conversation with key members of the Chinese American community reflecting on the street sport that continues to unite generations. For more than 90 years, 9-man volleyball has drawn teams from Chinatowns across the United States. In fact, the game is so popular that the last time a rotating competition took place in Washington, DC, it closed Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the FBI Building.
As immigrant identities continue to face challenges, understanding the impact of 9-man volleyball allows for a broader discussion on the importance of cultural spaces. Historical research has led to ongoing conversations about cultural preservation and identity within the Chinese American community, ensuring 9-man remains a thriving sport today.
Join us for a panel discussion exploring how the game’s strict rules, emphasis on community, and longstanding traditions have contributed to cultural preservation across generations. Together, we’ll revisit the rich history of 9-man volleyball in DC and highlight the resilience of Chinese American communities in maintaining their heritage despite adversity.
