Born from the creative minds of parents, Shamel and Tiffany Washington, in the wake of the tragic events of the summer of 2020, The ABC’s of Survival makes “the talk” tangible. The book, 8 months in the making, debuted at the end of Black History Month, 2021.
Every part of the book was created with the help of Black parents and BIPOC experts from different fields, including Allyson Jones, head of community mobilization and resource development at the National Black Child Development Institute.

THE BOOK THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
The ABC’s of Survival is an alphabet of lessons for BIPOC youth on how to survive—with tear-out protest posters, and postcards to send to Congress. It isn’t enough to read the lessons in this book, just as important are the conversations and change it sparks.
B
THE NATIONAL BLACK CHILD DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE
The ABC’s of Survival was created in partnership with the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI). For the last 50 years, the nonprofit organization has been a trusted partner in developing and delivering strengths-based, culturally relevant, evidence-based, and trauma-informed resources that respond to the unique needs of Black children.
