Personal life
Russell is the author of five books. An avid Renaissance Man, he learned to play the violin, the piano, the viola, the bassoon, and the electric bass guitar while in high school. Today, he prefers to stick with the violin which he performs at concerts and on special occasions.
Brooks developed his talents as a runner in high school to become a national-level sprinter. This landed him a track and field scholarship to Indiana University in Bloomington, where he excelled in the 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay–winning several races and becoming an All-Big Ten.
Russell’s talents even got him on the world athletics stage, where he represented Canada at the World University Games in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in the same three events. He also represented Team Quebec at the 1997 Jeux de la Francophonie in Antananarivo, Madagascar, and Ottawa in 2001.
Education
Russell attended Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, on a track and field scholarship. He graduated with a B.Sc. in Biology and a minor in Psychology.
Even though he was considered a ‘science nerd,’ Russell excelled in African-American studies. His education in that subject made him passionate about exposing systemic racism and injustice toward racialized communities in Quebec and Canada. Aside from writing essays in his blog about the subject matter, in the summer of 2020, he participated in two demonstrations called “Driving While Black, Proud and Free”—the first of its kind in Canada—where Black motorists formed a caravan and staged a peaceful protest. The event gained national attention as it raised awareness of the ongoing problems of racial profiling by police in the Montreal area toward Black motorists.
During his studies, Russell Brooks also excelled in a drama class called oral interpretation. This not only translated into the snappy dialogue found in his books but also made him popular at poetry readings.
