This Natural Heart of Mine

By Dr. Tamiquia T Simon

This Natural Heart of Mine is a searing, soulful memoir that dares to ask what happens when the faith you were given no longer fits the life you're living. Born into the sacred rhythms of the Black church, the author traces a spiritual journey through loss, disillusionment, and radical awakening-uncovering how grief shattered inherited beliefs and opened the door to something older, deeper, and more ancestral.

With unflinching honesty, this book confronts the legacy of colonized Christianity, the silencing power of religious respectability, and the emotional toll of trying to be "holy" while grieving. Through poetic reflection, theological critique, and spiritual reclamation, This Natural Heart of Mine weaves together memoir and manifesto-challenging readers to unlearn, remember, and return to a God unbound by empire.

This is not a story of losing faith.
It's a story of finding the Divine in places the church never told you to look.
