Life and career

She was born in Tollette, Arkansas, and uses only her first name. She is the youngest of eight children. She was raised in Northern California and attended Castro Valley High School. Luenell has one daughter, and lives in Los Angeles, California.

In the early 1990s Luenell appeared regularly on Soul Beat TV on the Oakland, California cable station KSBT, along with prominent Bay Area African-American journalist Chauncey Bailey, an interview and talk show host on the program.

Luenell's two-year tour and DVD appearances in “Katt Williams American Hustle” have created an almost cult-like following.
