"Help me, I know I am poor."
How many people are willing to admit they are poor. I never thought I would wake up one day and say
"Lord in Heaven I am Tired of Being Po.
My name is Tangie Bell Author and Motivational speaker “Tired of Being Po” and I am caught up in a
real live cycle of generational poverty. A number of people living in the world have no idea of the
consequences, situations and strains of urban life, unless they have experienced them first hand.
With violence being the main topic of most headlines, little is known about the emotional neglect of
most people who live in this environment.
Quote: The late Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ‘There is nothing more dangerous than to build a
society, with a large segment of people in that society , who will feel that they have no stake in it: who
feel that they have nothing to loose. People who have stake in their society , protect that society, but
when they don’t have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.”
Quote: Sex, Crime and Violence is not the way out of poverty! By: Tangie Bell-Author (Tired of
Being Po)
The purpose of this action is to raise awareness to educate, empower and expose generational
poverty.
Facts
Poverty is not limited to the homeless on the street
Poverty in America is far from uniform, varying by age, race, family, composition and by region.
There were 37 million people in poverty (12.6) percent in 2005. Are you or someone you know in
that number.
Did you know: Some 39 million Americans were counted poor in 1959, nearly the same number as
the nearly 37 million Americans counted as poor in 2004? Wow, It is frightening to know my family
has possibly been in that number since 1959 until now.
Did you know: It takes five generations to bring one family out of poverty?
A number of people living in the world have no idea of the consequences, situations and strains of
urban life, unless they have experienced them firsthand. With violence being the main topic of most
headlines, little is known about the emotional neglect of most people who live in this environment.
Examples
*Low self-esteem and just tired of struggling
*Babies having babies, parents working two jobs
*Juvenile crimes to adult crimes, will commit crimes for easy quick money
*Born into poverty cannot see no way out, no positive roll models
*Generational poverty, everyone in the family is struggling
*Government assistance programs such as food stamps, Medicare or Medicaid become their only
means of survival
*Limited education
It is time to rise up against poverty to make a world of change for all people.
