For Pretty Brown Flowers : " When I wrote this piece I envisioned myself in a rose garden I stumble upon in the neighborhood. I dreamt of all the beautiful black Queens trapped in a maze of mediocrity. We call it the ghetto. All the mothers and daughters of my past, present and future. Their beautiful eyes and hourglass shapes. The stories they yearned to tell and the books trapped in their hearts and minds that tell a thousand lies because they've forgotten their truths. In a world of so many colors, all I could see were the pretty brown flowers that no one of importance seemed to notice. The ones I yearned to touch the petals of. My hope for anyone that reads this is that they leave the pages having found themselves to be a pretty brown flower." _artfulSTEPH Sit back, relax and breathe....

[Story inspired Artful Steph to create "DeVonte’s Hart".www.artfulsteph.com] Jennifer Jean Hart(June 4, 1979[3]) and Sarah Margaret Hart (April 8, 1979,[3] née Gengler) were both from South Dakota; Jennifer originated from Huron, Sarah from Big Stone City, although some sources claim Ortonville, Minnesota – adjacent to Big Stone City – as Sarah's hometown.[4][5][6] Both women were the eldest children of their families. Jennifer had 2 siblings and Sarah had 3 siblings.[7] According to her father, Jennifer was not initially raised as a Lutheran but was baptized as one.[5] Jennifer attended Huron High School.[5] Sarah attended high school in Minnesota.[8] The 2 women attended and began their relationship at Northern State University (NSU);[9] Sarah had initially attended University of Minnesota for 1 semester before transferring to NSU,[8] while Jennifer started at Augustana University before transferring in 1999.[5] Both women majored in elementary education,[8] with Sarah focusing on special education. After Sarah graduated in 2002, Jennifer left the university without herself graduating.[9][5] In 2005, Sarah asked a local court to have her last name altered to match her partner's.[10] The couple went to Connecticut to be married in 2009; at the time same-sex marriage was not yet legal in every U.S. state.[11] On Facebook Jennifer stated that the women were initially closeted and faced ostracism once they publicly outed themselves, prompting the couple to move.[9] They moved to Alexandria, Minnesota, in 2004,[12] where both women worked at a Herberger's store.[13] Jennifer worked miscellaneous jobs until she became a stay-at-home mom in 2006, while Sarah became a manager at Herberger's.[12] After a period of living in West Linn, Oregon,[14] the Harts moved to an unincorporated area near Woodland, Washington;[15] Sarah became a manager at a Kohl's in Hazel Dell.[16] The couple were living near Woodland at the time of the murders.[14] The Harts received funds from the state of Texas, covering their 6 adopted children, which accounted for almost 50% of the family's income.[17][16] Members of Jennifer's and Sarah's families stated that the 2 women distanced themselves from them, even though both families were accepting of their sexual orientation.[18] Jennifer estranged herself from her father after 2001.[5] State govt. reports stated that the couple cut off contact with their relatives because of criticism about their parenting.[19] On March 26, 2018, Jennifer Hart murdered all 6 of their children, including Sarah when Jennifer drove their vehicle, a GMC Yukon XL,[13] over a 100-ft. (30 m) cliff on California State Route 1, in Mendocino County, California, near Westport.[33][11] The bodies of 5 of the children (Hannah, Markis, Jeremiah, Abigail, and Ciera) were found in or nearby the vehicle, which landed upside down on a beach below the cliff. The body of Devonte has not been found.[11][34] A superior court judge ruled that Devonte was in the vehicle at the time of the crash, and a death certificate was signed on April 3, 2019.[35] Authorities determined that the Yukon had been intentionally driven off the edge of the cliff.[11] The car had a black box that recorded parameters of the drive and fall.[36] A 14 member coroner's jury unanimously ruled the case a murder–suicide.[34][33][37] The inquest was called to determine cause of death, but not any responsibility in the civil or criminal fields.[38] The California Highway Patrol stated that criminal prosecution was not possible due to the deaths of any responsible parties.[39] Toxicology results showed that Jennifer's blood alcohol content was over the legal limit at the time of the crash,[11][34] and that both Sarah and 2 of the children had diphenhydramine in their systems.[34] Sarah had made Google searches before the crash, inquiring about Benadryl, no kill shelters, and the nature of drowning.[33] The Mendocino County Sheriff's Dept. officially closed the case.

On Facebook Jennifer stated that the women were initially closeted and faced ostracism once they publicly outed themselves, prompting the couple to move.[9] They moved to Alexandria, Minnesota, in 2004,[12] where both women worked at a Herberger's store.[13] Jennifer worked miscellaneous jobs until she became a stay-at-home mom in 2006, while Sarah became a manager at Herberger's.[12] After a period of living in West Linn, Oregon,[14] the Harts moved to an unincorporated area near Woodland, Washington;[15] Sarah became a manager at a Kohl's in Hazel Dell.[16] The couple were living near Woodland at the time of the murders.[14]
The Harts received funds from the state of Texas, covering their 6 adopted children, which accounted for almost 50% of the family's income.[17][16] Members of Jennifer's and Sarah's families stated that the 2 women distanced themselves from them, even though both families were accepting of their sexual orientation.[18] Jennifer estranged herself from her father after 2001.[5] State govt. reports stated that the couple cut off contact with their relatives because of criticism about their parenting.[19]
On March 26, 2018, Jennifer Hart murdered all 6 of their children, including Sarah when Jennifer drove their vehicle, a GMC Yukon XL,[13] over a 100-ft. (30 m) cliff on California State Route 1, in Mendocino County, California, near Westport.[33][11] The bodies of 5 of the children (Hannah, Markis, Jeremiah, Abigail, and Ciera) were found in or nearby the vehicle, which landed upside down on a beach below the cliff. The body of Devonte has not been found.[11][34] A superior court judge ruled that Devonte was in the vehicle at the time of the crash, and a death certificate was signed on April 3, 2019.[35]
Authorities determined that the Yukon had been intentionally driven off the edge of the cliff.[11] The car had a black box that recorded parameters of the drive and fall.[36] A 14 member coroner's jury unanimously ruled the case a murder–suicide.[34][33][37] The inquest was called to determine cause of death, but not any responsibility in the civil or criminal fields.[38] The California Highway Patrol stated that criminal prosecution was not possible due to the deaths of any responsible parties.[39]
Toxicology results showed that Jennifer's blood alcohol content was over the legal limit at the time of the crash,[11][34] and that both Sarah and 2 of the children had diphenhydramine in their systems.[34] Sarah had made Google searches before the crash, inquiring about Benadryl, no kill shelters, and the nature of drowning.[33] The Mendocino County Sheriff's Dept. officially closed the case.
In this episode, I reintroduce you to Artful Steph reading his powerful poem titled Pretty Brown Flowers..[ For Pretty Brown Flowers : " When I wrote this piece I envisioned myself in a rose garden I stumble upon in the neighborhood. I dreamt of all the beautiful black Queens trapped in a maze of mediocrity. We call it the ghetto. All the mothers and daughters of my past, present and future. Their beautiful eyes and hourglass shapes. The stories they yearned to tell and the books trapped in their hearts and minds that tell a thousand lies because they've forgotten their truths. In a world of so many colors, all I could see were the pretty brown flowers that no one of importance seemed to notice. The ones I yearned to touch the petals of. My hope for anyone that reads this is that they leave the pages having found themselves to be a pretty brown flower." _artfulSTEPH] . www.artfulsteph.com
