When I grow up I want to be, is a sentence that we all said when we were younger. From movie stars, athletes, doctors, policemen, and astronauts, we were all big dreamers. Even as we entered college, we had big plans for the rest of our lives. Sadly, as we all know, dreams don’t always become reality. Even if we don’t fully follow them through, do childhood dreams point us in the right direction for the future or are dreams and reality light years apart? Join us as we discuss the dreams we had as children vs the reality of today.

Was the college football championship a bust, cancel culture and spare the rod, spoil the child.
New Year's resolutions have long been a way to take stock of what's truly important in our lives, allowing us to pause and reflect on the year behind us, as well as plan for the year ahead. In the south, we also adhere to a few New Year’s superstitions. Various superstitions that are thought to help bring good luck, protect the home or keep away anything that is generally no good.

Keeping informed in 2022 can seem like an exhausting task. With constant updates coming at us from all sides, what is one to do? As adults, we must take a step outside of our comfort zone and discuss the things that are going on today. Join us tonight as we talk about some of the issues we are facing in the world today and a few topics that are just interesting to us.
Did you know that men, on average, die almost five years earlier than women? Partly because, as men, we do not like seeing the doctor. We must do better and become aware of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment among boys and men. Therefore, there is a Men’s Health Month every June that brings awareness to the health issues all men face. The week ending on Father’s Day is officially Men’s Health week and the men at Apartment 4a wanted to do something to encourage men to live longer and healthier lives. This week we have invited a special guest, Dr. Chadwick Mayes to talk about the importance of Men’s Health and give us some tips to help men take control of our health.
“Friends, How many of us have them?” These words sang by Whodini always make me think about the friends I have in my life. Men often forget that they need to feel connected to others as a human need for survival. When you are connected to people who want to see you succeed through hard work, you can lead a more successful life. Join us as we talk about friends in our lives and how they play an important role in Men’s Mental Health.
It has finally happened, college athletes are allowed to get paid via their name, image, and likeness (NIL). No longer does anyone have to hide the money given to players for their services to a school. No athletes can transfer to a school and play now. While the decision is great, it does not mean all student athletes will be signing for big checks. NIL has coaches in an uproar, fighting with each other and accusing each other of paying to play. Join us as we talk about the change in college athletics that NIL has caused and who has benefited.
Words have power because words are more than their dictionary definition. They can be used to build you up or tear you down. There is one word that the meaning once provoked violence to a word of brotherhood and friendship? It has been used as the ultimate insult—a word that has tormented generations of African Americans. Yet over time, it has become a popular term of endearment by the very people who once had to endure it. Join us as we discuss the evolution of the N-Word. Can it be changed into something positive? Is it time to let it go, or will it always be used as the ultimate insult?
We are taught to lead by example, but the truth is, no matter how much you lead, there is someone we are willing to follow. When you think of role models outside of family or celebrities, now the stars of social media are just as likely to be role models as traditional celebrities. In today's 24/7 media environment, in which we are spending more time with the media than with our family and loved ones, choosing positive influencers is more important than ever. Influencers today can reach out via TV, YouTube, Videogames, Music and so much more. Join us as we discuss today's role model and how social media influencers, whether right or wrong, are influential on today’s society and the upcoming future.
There is no I in team, but you can find me. It’s time to take charge of your health, lower your stress, become more productive, and have more energy. Regular me time helps us to unplug for our day-to-day errands. In doing so, we relieve stress, which helps us become a better version of ourselves. Join us as we discuss things we do for a little R&R and why those things are important to us.
Popeyes vs KFC, Walmart vs Target, Biggie vs Tupac. There is one question that we have always asked. What is the best in the world? It’s one thing to say you the best, but it is another thing to prove. Like Rick Flair said, “To be the man you have to beat the man”, Join us tonight as we discuss some of our top choices of products, artists, stores and more.
Since the beginning of time, music has always played a huge role in our lives. From movie soundtracks, to albums, in the car, on the elevator, even on hold with customer service, music is just one of the many things we consume on a daily basis. Just like everything else, music evolves over time and the way we access our favorite songs has evolved as well. We now have High Speed Internet and the music industry has evolved yet again. Join us as we discuss the effects that the internet has had on the music industry.
There are a lot of things going on in today’s world. As adults, we are put into all types of different situations, which cause us to make split decisions. Have you ever read or heard a story and wonder what you would do? In this episode of Apartment 4A we will discuss what we would do if put in different situations that others are facing.
We’ve all had the experience of being annoyed at a pet peeve that someone does. It can be a friend, co-worker, or even a stranger who sets it off. Some of us share them and some are just little things that get on your nerve personally. Understanding pet peeves can improve your relationships and interactions or be used against you. Join us as we discuss some of the things that really grinds our gears.
You wanna talk s? You wanna run your mouth? Was all I could think of when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. This could go down as the best or worst night in television history. Was it just a joke or did Chris go too far? Did WIll go too far or was he just defending his wife? The bible says turn the other check and one was turned, but was it the right one? Also, many will try but only a few will be selected. For over 100 years, men and women have joined Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLO) and some of those members have gone on to be staples in the community and nation. These organizations were built to serve and protect Black students. It's now 2022 and are they still serving and protecting the black community? Is there still a need for BGLO? Join us as we discuss the need for BGLO in the 21st century and the fall out at the Oscars.

The Church has long been considered one of the foundational and most influential institutions in African American history. The church is a powerful force for unity and progress in our community.
