May 8, 2025 (UTC-4)ENDED
Washington D.C.
Arts
Film
In the midst of their grief for the death of their son, Willie, the Lincolns sought refuge at the Cottage. President Lincoln's Cottage opened the award-winning exhibit, "Reflections on Grief and Child Loss" in 2020 as a way to express the universality of grief across time, connecting the Lincolns to modern families. Join us for a free screening of "Before a Breath," a documentary film that explores stillbirth, maternal health, and meaning-making after loss. This is an independently organized event inspired by reporting from ProPublica, an award-winning nonprofit newsroom. Following the screening, join us for a conversation featuring: Kanika Harris is a birth justice advocate and doula. She holds a doctorate in health behavior and health education and is the executive director of the National Association to Advance Black Birth. Callie Hawkins is the CEO and Executive Director of President Lincoln's Cottage. She curated the exhibit, "Reflections on Grief and Child Loss" which won the National Council on Public History's Outstanding Public History Project Award in 2023. Erin Wallace Morrison facilitates DC Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Support group, the only regularly-meeting peer support group for pregnancy loss and infant death in DC. Nadia Sussman is a filmmaker and journalist at ProPublica. She is the director of "Before a Breath." Debbie Haine Vijayvergiya is a stillbirth parent advocate and the mother behind the SHINE for Autumn Act, named in honor of her daughter, Autumn, who was stillborn in 2011.

Smith Visitor Education Center) Screening Check-In Screening Post-Screening Conversation Restrooms Check-In begins at 5:30pm THE FILM Intimate, infuriating and ultimately hopeful, “Before a Breath” braids together the stories of three mothers determined to make pregnancy safer after losing children to stillbirth. After the loss of her daughter Autumn, Debbie Haine Vijayvergiya discovers that more than 20,000 stillbirths occur every year in the U.S. — and at least 1 in 4 is likely preventable. She goes to Washington, battling political inertia as she fights to make stillbirth research and prevention a federal priority. Kanika Harris, a maternal health advocate and doula, tells the story of her twins, Kodjo and Zindzi, as she trains a new generation of Black birth workers. And Stephanie Lee, a nurse leader at a Manhattan hospital, seeks answers about what might have led to her daughter Elodie’s stillbirth as she takes a leap of faith and becomes pregnant again.

Board Game Speed Dating - Wunder Garten - NoMa in DC (Ages 25-39) | Wunder Garten

May 8, 2025 (UTC-4)ENDED
Washington D.C.
Cultural Experiences
Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner? Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out. Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends. Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great. Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol. Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover: 1) This event is for men & women, ages 25-39. We also have events for gay men and queer women. And we're hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future! Head over to https://www.quirkevents.com/dc to see what else we have to offer. (If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you'll be able to join our mailing list and get notified about future events. Plus, joining our mailing list gets you 50% off your first ticket purchase!) 2) To stay up-to-date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here! 3) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable. 4) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don't expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up. 5) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round. Information Source: Quirk Events | eventbrite
