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.

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.

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.
