Adversity to Advocacy: Dominic Carter’s Fight for Child Abuse Awareness and Mental Health

by Dominic Carter on 09/26/25

As a child, Dominic Carter knew struggle all too well. Poverty, the absence of a father, and a mother battling severe mental illness made his early years a daily challenge. On top of that, he endured child sexual abuse, an experience that could have silenced him forever.

Instead, Carter chose to speak out. Today, he is a national keynote speaker, a trusted WABC Radio host, and the author of No Momma’s Boy. His story is a reminder that silence helps no one, and that telling the truth can free others to do the same.

His journey from trauma to advocacy is not only powerful—it’s proof that resilience can be found even in the darkest circumstances.
