The Ripple Effect | Brennan Harlow | TEDxYouth@Dayton

In a deeply personal narrative, Brennan Harlow shows a sophisticated understanding of how family dynamics are impacted by drug abuse. His experiences as a young teen are layered into the stories of his parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, and he speaks honestly about the small and monumental ways one person’s addiction played out in others’ lives.

Brennan is a sophomore at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton, Ohio. He is on the varsity swim team and plays tennis. Brennan is involved in performing arts at school, singing in the A Cappella group, and doing improv acting. He hopes to become a engineer and work for Apple.
