A Pot to P*ss In (A Memoir)

Dream. Fight. Own. One Woman’s Battle for a Home and a Future.

Sagashus Levingston didn’t just dream of homeownership—she fought for it. No credit. Six kids. A system designed to lock her out. Yet, in just nine months, she went from realizing she had nowhere stable to turn to signing the deed to her first home. A Pot to Piss In is more than a memoir—it’s a masterclass in resilience, defiance, and rewriting the rules.

From the streets of Cairo, Illinois—where her great-grandmother ran a brothel—to the boardrooms and classrooms where she made her mark as a PhD-holding entrepreneur, Levingston lays it all bare. Poverty, power, pain, and perseverance—this is the story of a woman who refused to shrink.

For the woman who’s been told she’s asking for too much. For the mother juggling dreams and diapers. For the entrepreneur building something from nothing. For the professional tired of proving she belongs. For every woman who knows she was meant for more—this book is for you.
