Overview
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.
Author Bio
Sagashus T. Levingston is a cultural commentator, storyteller, and truth-teller who writes at the intersection of mothering, womanhood, power, and unapologetic living. With a PhD in English and a lived education shaped by the pursuit of wisdom and the quest to break—and design—generational cycles, she brings theory, practice and lived experience to the page—refusing to separate scholarship from soul.She is the founder of Infamous Mothers, the visionary behind the Without Apology Tour, and the host of the “Books, Bullets, and Babies” podcast. Her work has been featured in classrooms, boardrooms, and living rooms—wherever people are ready to move beyond respectability and reckon with real stories.
A Pot to P*ss In is more than her next book—it’s her next act of resistance. An intimate and incisive exploration of leadership, love, and leveling up, this book invites readers to sit with what society has tried to hide—and rise into their fullest, most unapologetic selves.
Dr. Sagashus Levingston lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her six children, two fur babies, one partner, and a movement that refuses to rest.
