Tiredof Being Po

Tiredof Being Po
Posted By: Tangie bell on June 26, 2006


Bring Home a Unique Book with a Powerful message
Tired of Being Po, is author Tangie Bell’s raw, uncut story about her escape from poverty and a world where sexual favors and crime held the only promise of a next meal for herself and her children. A high school drop out, Tangie took to the streets and left Shreveport, Louisiana at the age of 18, setting out to find emotional and financial fulfillment. Soon she fell into the dangerous trap of using her body to acquire life’s necessities. After years on the streets, now with three children in tow, Bell found herself living at a residential development center for homeless families with children that require residents to work full time and continue their education. One night Tangie woke up from her sleep crying, shaking, and feeling used and abused. She ran outside to commit suicide with hopes to escape the years of poverty she has known all her life. Something happened that night that changed Bell’s life forever.



Tired of Being Po is a heart felt story of one woman who has stood up against the grain of breaking generational poverty within herself and those that she come in contact with. Tired of Being Po exposes the brokenness and low self-esteem of the author and how she took her life back. Tangie Bell is a positive example that one person can make a difference.
Bell now resides in Shreveport, Louisiana, with her husband and four daughters and is currently teaching Tired of Being Po workshops. Her book, Tired of Being Po is available today.
