Luenell Shares Her Testimony
I’ve always been a Luenell fan, but I think I love her just a little bit more after she shared her powerful testimony with her fans.
The actress and comedian posted a photo of her wristband and Inmate Vending Card from when she was incarcerated and shared her journey from being in a jail cell to becoming a successful comedian to inspire her fans.
See her full post below.
