Dominic CarterSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Dominic was placed in the NYC Foster Care System as a child when his mother was hospitalized after claiming she heard voices telling her to throw Dominic out a window. Dominic was raised by his grandmother, and his upbringing was comprised of public housing, welfare, and the New York City public school system.

Dominic's high school counselor advised him not to spend his time applying to colleges since he would either be dead or in jail. But there was something special about Dominic, and he climbed above it all as the first person in his family to attend college.

He applied to the Educational Opportunity Program for college on the spur of the moment. Dominic finished his undergraduate degree in just three years. He attended graduate school at Syracuse University before beginning his career as a journalist in New York, where he interviewed Nelson Mandela and attended White House social gatherings.

Dominic's life has been marked by incredible highs and heartbreaking lows, but also by persistence and redemption. He has also interviewed President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and current contender Billionaire Businessman Michael Bloomberg. Dominic has gone to Israel, the Persian Gulf, and Japan on assignment. Dominic's autobiography, No Momma's Boy, was included in an Oprah Winfrey Magazine article.

Dominic is most effective when speaking to at-risk high school and college students participating in Opportunity Programs around the country. Dominic is a radio personality on New York City Powerhouse, 77 WABC Radio, and a political commentator on Regional News Network.
