“How I Amplified My Voice” | Steven Anthony Brown Jr. | TEDxYouth@NCSSM

His talk, How I Amplified My Voice: Advocacy, Mentorship, and Environment, explores the power of resonance and the shared act of being heard, tracing his journey through a Ph.D. shaped by mentorship, advocacy, and learning when to speak up, and concluding with reflections on how small interruptions can unexpectedly and quietly redirect a life’s course. Steven Anthony Brown Jr., a Lexington, North Carolina native, has built a distinguished career at the intersection of science, technology, and creativity. A graduate of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, he earned a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from UNC Chapel Hill before completing both a Master’s and PhD in Applied Physics at George Mason University, where his dissertation centered on Space Weather and the Sun’s influence on the upper atmosphere. His professional path includes key roles at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office, advancing research that strengthens national security missions. He now serves as a scientific advisor at the Space Development Agency, shaping the agency’s 10-year technology roadmap and contributing to its receipt of the prestigious David Packard Award. A dedicated musician for more than 15 years, Steven also serves as lead keyboardist at Grace Covenant Church and looks back fondly on his time in jazz band and the Colours Gospel Choir at NCSSM.
