Summary
A powerful, uplifting queer Muslim memoir by a young Pakistani Canadian activist and photographer.
Triumphant and uplifting - a queer Muslim memoir about forgiveness and freedom.
A memoir of hope, faith and love, Samra Habib's story starts with growing up as part of a threatened minority sect in Pakistan and follows her arrival in Canada as a refugee, before escaping an arranged marriage at 16. When she realised she was queer, it was yet another way she felt like an outsider.
So begins a journey that takes her to the far reaches of the globe to uncover a truth that was within her all along. It shows how Muslims can embrace queer sexuality and families can embrace change. A triumphant story of forgiveness and freedom, We Have Always Been Here is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt alone and a testament to the power of fearlessly inhabiting one's truest self.

Compelling and found myself hooked
I was curious by a couple of the book reviews preferring the first 2/3’s. For me, the journey came together in the latter part, issuing a sense of wholeness. Though I do remain curious about parts... curiosity brings play and joy - a well received parting gift.

Insightful, sensitively handled and joyous…
While overcoming the many trials, trauma and challenges of Samra’s journey to acceptance, she has shared a beautiful insight of her life so far to help educate all on difference and humanity. A page turner and life enhancing read. Throughly recommended.

Narration
Unfortunately the reader's voice was uninspiring and made me doze off missing large chunks of the text.
