  Dominic Carter, WABC Radio host and keynote speaker, shares his journey from foster care and child abuse survival to resilience and national inspiration. When Dominic Carter steps onto a stage, the room often falls silent. The veteran journalist and talk radio host has interviewed presidents, mayors, and world leaders. Yet the stories that resonate most with audiences are not about politics or power — they’re about family, resilience, and overcoming the odds. Dominic’s memoir, No Momma’s Boy , chronicles a childhood shaped by adversity, including experiences with foster care and the challenges of growing up without stability. For many, these are stories that might remain private. But Dominic chose to share them publicly — not for sympathy, but to inspire. “I always tell audiences, your past doesn’t define your future,” Carter says. “I’m proof of that. If I can make it, anyone can.” That message has carried him across the country and into communities where his voice is needed ...

Today was a powerful broadcast. I was joined LIVE by the new U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, alongside WABC station owner John Catsimatidis. Jay Clayton captured the moment when he said: “New Yorkers deserve a great quality of life.” You can hear the interview by clicking here . 📻 You can catch The Dominic Carter Show every weekday at 3PM and 12AM EST on 770 AM, WABCRadio.com , and the free #77WABC App. But my work extends beyond the headlines. I share my own personal story of resilience—growing up in the Bronx with a mentally ill mother, no father, and the trauma that nearly broke me. That journey is why I now travel the country as a keynote speaker, shining a light on #ChildAbuseAwareness and #MentalHealthAdvocacy. My mission is simple: turn pain into purpose and break the silence.

 Two tragedies. Two cities. One failure of public safety. ➡️ In Charlotte, NC , Iryna Zarutska fled war in Ukraine only to be fatally stabbed while looking at her phone on a light rail train. Mayor Vi Lyles suggested that sharing the video of the attack is “disrespectful.” But the bigger question remains: where is the safety for everyday residents? ➡️ In Chicago , Kathleen Miles, a hardworking mother, was randomly attacked and beaten by a career criminal with at least 12 prior arrests. She suffered broken bones, a concussion, and a black eye. Shockingly, the story is only now gaining media coverage. These are not isolated incidents. They reveal a dangerous reality: repeat offenders continue to walk free while innocent lives are shattered. At what point will leaders put public safety above politics? 🎙️ Dominic Carter exposes these issues and more on The Dominic Carter Show — weekdays at 3PM ET , again live at midnight , and Sundays 11PM–1AM ET on 77 WABC Radio.
