About this book

“We Have Always Been Here” is an autobiographical work by Samra Habib. It traces her life as a queer Muslim, from her early years as an Ahmadi Muslim in Pakistan, where she was targeted by Islamic extremists, to her existence as a refugee in Canada.

The book delves into her battles with identity, faith, art, love, and queer sexuality. It’s a narrative of forgiveness and family, and a testament to the courage of living authentically. The book was honored with the 2020 Lambda Literary Award and was a finalist for the 2020 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction.
