We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir by Samra Habib
emotional

4.0
This was an insightful memoir, about finding your own queerness. I appreciated the overall structure of the book, where overall we follow Samra as she grows up, but there were a few times when the timing or pacing of the chapter or contents within pulled me out of the story and then caused me to be confused about when in Samra’s life were learning about.
I appreciated Samra’s words and will be looking for her photography and photo project mentioned in this book.
