Dominic Carter | Keynote Speaker on Foster Care, Resilience, and Overcoming Adversity

  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 ...
