Mama Lou wins admiration of MU men

 

Mama Lou strong armed audience members into acts of worship, during her performance at Methodist on Feb. 23. 


During the performance, Mama Lou broke chopsticks with her butt, tore a phone book in half and bent a frying pan with her bare hands. She invited male students to participate in the act. They attempted to match her feats of strength, however, many failed. 


Mama Lou gained strength from aerial art circus training. She says that she was very stubborn about becoming a strong woman. Today, she is 1 of only 3 “strong women” in the world and the only 1 in the northern hemisphere. Mama Lou says her show is a message of girl power. She believes that women need more strong role models in society. 

Mama Lou teaches aerial acrobatics classes at the Climbing Place on Raeford Road, and would like to do more shows in the Fayetteville area. Mama Lou is Lindsey Lindberg’s stage name for performances as a strong woman. Lindberg is a Fayetteville resident.

Staci Chiomento, a military spouse for eight years, and a former soldier, recalls the moment when representatives of the U.S. Army knocked on her door to inform her that her husband had been killed in action in Iraq.
