Lisa Wu (born January 23, 1973 in Inglewood, California) is an American television personality, actress, realtor, screenwriter and designer. Born in Inglewood, California, Wu started her career as a backup dancer for musical artists and bands such as Public Enemy, EPMD and Candyman.[1] Shortly after this, she discovered a talent for rap music – subsequently joining an upcoming rap group '19'. After being offered a record deal, she decided not to pursue a musical career. After deciding to leave music, Wu channelled her creativity into film – obtaining writing, acting and producing credits for a 2003 film Black Ball.
Remaining in the film industry for many years, Wu would soon be offered a role in the inaugural season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta – serving as her real big break.[2] She appeared in the main cast for the first two seasons (2008–09), and was a guest for the third season (2010–11). Since her departure from RHOA, Wu has continued her career in the film and television industry; garnering both acting and producing credits. In 2014, she appeared to be a main cast member with four other actresses who are working for their short film, The White Sistas on the TV One original series Hollywood Divas.
