Lindsay Byron

Lindsay Byron is a strip club veteran, former English professor, and lifelong writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Lindsay developed a name for herself on social media as a storyteller under the alias of “Lux ATL.” She hails from Evilland, Virginia, the final capital of the Confederacy, where tobacco once was king, but now Oxycontin takes the throne. After a traumatic youth in this treacherous landscape, Lindsay escaped Evilland by dancing her way across strip club stages throughout the South--collecting three English degrees in the meantime--before finally finding her calling as a preacher for women’s empowerment in the role of Head Priestess of the Stripcoven, a rag-tag community of misfit girls. Lindsay holds a PhD in American Literature from Georgia State University, as well as a doctorate in the school of hard knocks. She is a published scholar on the topic of unruly women; you can find her article “Rewriting Elizabeth'' in the Summer 2014 edition of Southern Cultures quarterly. In her free time, Lindsay enjoys hiking, surfing, dancing, playing music, and snuggling her three-legged dog.
