WIF is pleased to welcome its Autumn 2025 intern!
Camryn James is a junior at the University of Arizona, pursuing a major in Cyber Operations with a minor in Hip Hop. He was born and raised in Chicago, a city that fuels both his drive for innovation and his passion for culture.
Camryn’s academic journey in Cyber Operations sharpens his skills in technology and security, while his Hip Hop studies connect him to artistic expression and community building.
Outside of academics, Camryn is also a DJ, blending sounds and creating experiences that bring people together through music. He strives to bridge his technical expertise with his creative side, finding unique ways to merge cybersecurity, digital media, and Hip-Hop culture. Whether through his studies, DJing, or community involvement, he is dedicated to building connections, embracing versatility, and leaving a lasting impact.
In Autumn 2025, Camryn will create a new digital home for the Les Amis de Beauford Delaney blog and oversee its seamless migration from Blogger.
He will also investigate the ways in which Beauford Delaney’s art has shaped the work of contemporary musicians.
Together, these initiatives will launch The Beauford Delaney Project – Where Scholarship Meets Community, a digital humanities celebration through which WIF will pay tribute to Beauford Delaney—the visionary artist whose brilliance and spirit inspired WIF’s very founding. This project will be the focal point of WIF’s 10th anniversary, honoring Delaney’s enduring legacy while bringing his influence to new generations.
