We Have Always Been Here
by Samra Habib
challenging
emotional
hopeful
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
This book was a really great book to read in the current moment where everything feels so bleak. It was helpful to see an example of someone finding themselves and coming into their queerness in the midst of many forces that were against them. It gave me hope to read about how their parents evolved throughout their life. Reading a story about the things they went through and how they overcame adversity put things in perspective and helped me consider community and queer community during this very disturbing time in history.
