Comedian Luenelle Campbell

uenell was born in Tollette, Arkansas. The youngest of eight children, she was raised in Northern California and attended Castro Valley High School.

She 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 interviewer and talk show host on the program.

Luenell was one of the few hired actors in the 2006 hit mockumentary comedy film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. In the film, Luenell plays a prostitute of the same name, a hooker with a heart of gold, who later marries Borat.

Luenell has appeared in over 70 films and Television

In 2012, she acted in three #1 feature films: Think Like A Man; the 3D animated hit Hotel Transylvania, with Adam Sandler; and Taken 2, with Liam Neeson.

She also co-starred in the comedy that’s My Boy with Adam Sandler and Leighton Meester. TV appearances include episodes of The Middle and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, as well as standup appearances on Snoop Dog’s Bad Girls of Comedy on Showtime and Stand-up In Stilettos on the TV Guide Network.

An interview and non-nude photo spread of Luenell appeared in the April 2017 issue of Penthouse magazine.

An X’treme Nailz Diva for over 40 years Luenelle has been the shining example of swag class and perseverance. We originally met back in 2013 at one of her prestigious celebrity birthday parties.

Since then our careers have occasionally placed us at the same venues and events. And every time Luenell has been a classy, consistent and down-to-earth person. She is revered by her peers and in constant demand by those in the entertainment industry.

I’ve always admired and respected luenelle as a person and a professional. She has paid her dues and worked extremely hard for all her accolades. In an industry that is very stereotypical and traditional about female roles (especially when it comes to minorities) luenelle has managed to carve a lucrative career for herself (while maintaining her dignity and respect).

We occasionally discussed some of my thoughts on creating a platform for those X’treme Nailz Ladies (that grew up dealing with discriminatory practices and negative stereotypes involving their long nails).

She was always encouraging me to pursue that vision (being an X’treme Nailz Diva herself).

Her support motivated me on so many levels. She made me realize that I would need to defeat not only the nay slayers but racist practices and industry bias.

Until the major entertainment industries become more progressive and accepting, sponsorship and collaborations would be far and few between. She was spot on with that. It took a while but eventually I was able to implement my program and unite X-Nail Divas worldwide.

It’s been a 10 year journey but X’treme Nailz International is a respected brand. And because of people like Luenelle I found my inspiration to forge ahead and “Dare 2 Be Different”.
