No Momma’s Boy – The True Story of Journalist Dominic Carter

From the housing projects in the notorious Bronx, New York, to the studios of 77 WABC Radio, Dominic Carter’s life is truly remarkable. No Momma’s Boy serves as his deeply personal memoir that uncovers the pain of childhood trauma, the power of determination, and the supportive individuals who stepped in when life could have taken a different turn. Dominic had, after all, been told by a guidance counselor in high school that he was destined to follow the same path as many of his peers, which was "either dead or in jail."

Dominic’s story has inspired audiences nationwide—from foster care and adoption seminars to Child Advocacy Centers and television viewers who recognize him from the realm of Politics and beyond. Through struggle, courage, and victory, Dominic demonstrates that regardless of where you start, what ultimately matters is where you are headed in life..

This is a narrative about Dominic's life, addressing his mother’s mental health challenges, diagnosed with "Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia," and the difficulties he faced, including growing up without a father and having a grandfather struggling with heroin addiction. Dominic was taken care of by his grandmother and his aunt. Nevertheless, it is more than just a book—it’s a tribute to resilience, forgiveness, and finding your voice in a world that often tries to silence you. This is his journey...from having nothing to being a guest at the White House, interviewing global leaders, including Nelson Mandela of South Africa.
