During an early episode of RHOA, Wu and Nene Leakes visited her parents in Inglewood and Lisa recounted her experiences growing up biracial and how she and her family were often the targets of discriminatory comments in their neighborhood.[2]

Wu started her career as a backup dancer for musical artists and bands such as Public Enemy, EPMD, and Candyman. Shortly after this, she joined the rap group 19. After leaving music, Wu wrote, produced, and acted in the film Black Ball (2003). She remained in the film industry for many years.

Wu was cast in the inaugural season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta.[3] She appeared in the main cast for the first two seasons (2008–09) and was a guest for the Season 3 (2010–11).

Since her departure from RHOA, Wu has continued her career as an actress and producer. From 2014 until 2016, she was a cast member with four other actresses working on a short film, The White Sistas, on the TV One series Hollywood Divas.

Wu's elder brother, Meho, is deceased, and Wu was seen grieving over his death in a Season 2 episode of RHOA, during the build-up to an anniversary of his death.[4]

From 1992 until 2002, Wu was married to Keith Sweat. The couple had two sons, Jordan (b. 1995) and Justin (b. 1998).[5][6][7][8][9][3]
