Africana Studies / Rites and Reason Theatre

Camille Wise holds two bachelor's degrees with honors in Africana Studies and Comparative World Literature from California State University, Long Beach, and a master's with distinction in American Studies from California State University, Fullerton. She is interested in how the Black diaspora utilizes body adornment & modification practices (i.e. make-up, tattoos, skincare, etc.) to challenge or assimilate their socioeconomic status and identities within America. Her interests are informed by her experiences working in the beauty industry and enrollment in cosmetology school.
