Inspiring Audiences Through Real-Life Experience

Dominic Carter is a nationally recognized radio host, author, and public speaker who uses his personal story of overcoming childhood trauma, foster care, and kinship care to inspire audiences across the country. Raised in the Bronx, Dominic’s father was never present in his life, and his mother battled severe mental illness, which led to him being raised by his grandmother — a situation commonly referred to today as kinship care.
