Daniel K. Abusuampeh, MPA, MSW — Director, ATBI

Daniel Kwasi Abusuampeh is the driving force behind the African Tribe Bridge Institute (ATBI). Born in bustling Accra, Ghana, in the 1980s, Daniel’s journey has always been a blend of art, advocacy, and a deep commitment to social change. Even after moving thousands of miles away to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the rhythms and colors of Africa continued to shape his perspective and his purpose.

Daniel’s foundation is as much artistic as it is academic. With the hands of a painter and the heart of a social worker, he found ways to channel his vision for a more unified world onto every canvas and into every community project he touched. His art, inspired by the conviction that an artist’s duty is to reflect the times (a lesson he drew from Nina Simone), became a window into an Africa and a world free from the divisions of tribalism.

In 2023, Daniel established ATBI as more than just an institution – it’s a movement. His mission is clear: to equip individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to bridge divides, celebrate diversity, and build lasting unity. Through ATBI, Daniel invites people to move beyond passive observation, stepping up as agents of change and champions of ethnic harmony.

For Daniel, ATBI is a beacon, a place where differences are not just acknowledged but embraced, where learning sparks transformation, and where hope for a more inclusive future becomes action. His vision extends far beyond education: he aims to inspire others to see tribalism differently, to challenge old narratives, and to foster environments where future generations can thrive without prejudice.
