For many college students, entering this uncertain job market can often be a daunting and nerve racking experience. But with graduation around the corner for some and summer fast approaching for others, too many bypass one of the most critical stepping stones along the way... getting an internship.

Earlier this year, The Thurgood Marshall College Fund released the book, Dream Internships: It's Not Who You Know, It's What You Know, which teaches students the significance of landing internships as well as giving them a crash course in how to interview for one.

Recently, Black Voices had an opportunity to sit down with Dwayne Ashley, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund as well as the author of the book.

Mr. Ashley, who has been named to Ebony magazine's "100 Most Influential Black Americans" list for five consecutive years, shares some of his insights on the internship landscape as well as the importance of capitalizing on opportunities.

Although not be a professionally trained chef, she sure knows food.

After her 2005 appearance on 'Emeril Live,' which she described as her greatest "foodie" moment ever, plans were in the works for her own show, 'Cooking for Real.'

Read on as Sunny explains her love for food, her favorite chef and what a "foodie" is to Blackvoices' very own Denver C. Louis.

Very few people truly say how they feel, and even less say it as unabashedly as comedienne Sheryl Underwood.

Known for her no-holds-barred stand-up routine, Sheryl covers everything from sex, to current events, to politics. And make no mistake, she's earned stripes with a number of high profile comedy competitions including: the Johnny Walker Red Comedy Contest, the Funniest Woman at the Improv, the Old English Comedy Crunch and BET Comic View's Funniest Female Comedian.

And she also holds a Bachelor's and two Masters Degrees.

Far from your average comic, she makes it known that she is a God-fearing, conservative black Republican. A complex threat indeed. She openly proclaims her love for President George Bush -- while still supporting Sen. Barack Obama as her presidential candidate.

Below is an interview you won't forget from Blackvoices' Denver C. Louis.

The problem with Textual Seduction...

Much of history is all about moments in time and in this politically charged era, where black America stands on the precipice of possibility; Detroit's hip-hop Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is not doing anyone any favors.

The time has finally come for the lid to be blown off this case of 'textual healing,' (or text-gate if you're so inclined) and truth be told, it's not looking too good for the 38-year-old mayor of the country's most dangerous city. Today, the prosecutor, Kym Worthy, announced to a packed news conference that she is charging Kilpatrick with eight felonies and his former aide Christine Beatty with seven.

Would it be cheaper for Shaq to keep Shaunie around instead of divorcing her?

And in case if you were wondering, that really was Marcus' father who posted in regards to his son.

And yes, he did spank him as a child.

Clearly, it wasn't hard enough.
