LUENELL - Just the Right Amount of Slopp Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

It is not every day you can get Luenell in your kitchen. The Original Bad Girl of Comedy and actress kept it sloppy in our kitchen, no pun intended. Between just getting off tour with Katt Williams, promoting her latest movie Block party, and headlining her own tour she still found some time to share with us her classic struggle meal. The nostalgia was flowing as she shared compelling stories of her rise to fame, the sacrifices, and the lessons she learned along the way. Most of all in this episode you get to see how passion, discipline, drive, kindness, and comedy therapy made her the most recognizable face in almost all the black comedies we all know and love to date. Enjoy a good laugh on this episode!
