RD LORE
“J.Boogie”, “Boogie”, “Boog”... all three are common nicknames that Jalen answers to. However, once upon a time there was only one individual who called Jalen by this name, and they were the only person Jalen would allow to say it.
Jalen’s Dad (a.k.a Dub/Mr. Williams)

Contrary to the popular song lyric, “Jalen, you the OG. You been here since 2016. Love how I text you and it show up green. 6 foot 6 shoulda went to the league”, Jalen in fact has NOT been here since 2016.

Basketball
While Jalen TYPICALLY doesn’t like horror movies and stays for away from the genre, this movie in particular is one that Jalen has found intriguing and thought provoking enough that he’s watched it a total of 7 times (or 8… lowkey lost count) The movie in itself was a low budget film that has found massive success this past summer, maybe even hard launching a future career of success for one of its actresses...
Obsession
(I've seen Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse the same number of times so don't judge...)
The first ever vehicle that I owned and modified is known for its VTEC engine, and its name originates from a recent movie starring Christopher Nolan

During the fall of my freshman year of college in 2023, I tragically fell off my longboard and fractured my jaw. Unable to eat any solid food and solely living off of creamy, zesty soup in alpha for three days. What CO-ED dorm was responsible for my fall?

Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Jalen loves video games but he is a bit of a geek with a specific interest. The games he plays tend to fall solely under the category of “Fantasy RPG”. One fantasy RPG in particular, Jalen has achieved a platinum trophy for both the PS4 and PS5 versions. This game won game of the year back in 2022 and was noted for being gaming studio, FromSoftware’s, first attempt at an open-world game in their “Soulslike” genre.
Elden Ring
In German, the word for ‘no’ is also the number of students in my graduating high school class.

Jalen’s dad is a Jehovah’s Witness, so growing up it was not uncommon for Jalen to not celebrate his birthday. Though it is not technically a birthday gift, Jalen’s dad only ever bought him one thing, which was given to Jalen at his 8th Grade graduation.

I recently acquired this certification this past summer to be able to drive these specific vehicles at my summer job.

This country won 3 gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Two of which were won in short track speed skating, but most notably, a historic milestone was made for this country by winning gold in the Woman’s Snowboarding Halfpipe. Jalen is proud to say that it was in this very country that he snuck away to go get a tattoo while on a Go-Encounter trip
