Breaking the Silence
For far too long, conversations about child sexual abuse prevention have been hidden in shame and silence. National journalist and keynote speaker Dominic Carter has made it his mission to change that.
As the host of The Dominic Carter Show on 77 WABC Radio, millions know Carter as a trusted voice in news and talk radio. But his most important work happens off the air, where he speaks openly about child abuse, trauma, and the urgent need for prevention. His advocacy is personal, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
Dominic Carter and Child Sexual Abuse Prevention
Carter’s childhood was filled with challenges — a mother battling chronic paranoid schizophrenia, life in public housing, and the instability that comes with poverty and stigma. He also survived childhood sexual abuse, an experience that nearly destroyed him. Instead of remaining silent, he chose to speak out, using his pain as a platform for change.
Today, Carter is recognized across the U.S. and Canada as a child sexual abuse prevention keynote speaker. He has delivered keynote addresses for child advocacy centers, foster parent associations, and national mental health organizations. His presentations combine raw honesty with an uplifting message: that survival is possible, that resilience is real, and that awareness saves lives.
By sharing his lived experience, Carter not only educates audiences but empowers them to act — to recognize the signs, support survivors, and demand accountability from systems meant to protect children.
The Power of No Momma’s Boy
Dominic Carter’s memoir, No Momma’s Boy, has become a cornerstone of his advocacy. Featured in Oprah Winfrey’s magazine and praised by mental health leaders, the book details Carter’s childhood trauma, his survival, and his journey to success in journalism and broadcasting.
But beyond the headlines, No Momma’s Boy is a tool for awareness. It gives voice to the silent struggles of children who endure abuse and offers proof that healing and triumph are possible. For survivors, it provides hope. For professionals, it offers insight into the lifelong impact of childhood sexual abuse. For society, it’s a call to action.
A Voice That Inspires Action
Through his platform on 77 WABC Radio, Carter raises awareness daily about issues that matter — from mental health to public safety to child protection. But it is on the stage, as a keynote speaker, that his advocacy has the deepest impact.
Audiences leave Carter’s presentations not only moved by his story but also motivated to take action. Whether speaking at a foster care conference in Missouri, a child advocacy center in New York, or a national summit on trauma, his voice carries the weight of truth and the hope of change.

His journey from trauma to triumph proves that while pain may be part of the story, it does not have to be the ending. Through awareness, prevention, and advocacy, lives can be saved and futures reclaimed.
