CANADA READS 2020 WINNERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
2020 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD WINNER How do you find yourself when the world tells you that you don't exist? Samra Habib has spent most of her life searching for the safety to be herself. As an Ahmadi Muslim growing up in Pakistan, she faced regular threats from Islamic extremists who believed the small, dynamic sect to be blasphemous. From her parents, she internalized the lesson that revealing her identity could put her in grave danger. When her family came to Canada as refugees, Samra encountered a whole new host of challenges: bullies, racism, the threat of poverty, and an arranged marriage. Backed into a corner, her need for a safe space--in which to grow and nurture her creative, feminist spirit--became dire. The men in her life wanted to police her, the women in her life had only shown her the example of pious obedience, and her body was a problem to be solved. So begins an exploration of faith, art, love, and queer sexuality, a journey that takes her to the far reaches of the globe to uncover a truth that was within her all along. A triumphant memoir of forgiveness and family, both chosen and not, We Have Always Been Here is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt out of place and a testament to the power of fearlessly inhabiting one's truest self.

I love these!
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
I love these kalamata olives with just olive oil - it's so hard to find them pre-packaged or jarred with JUST olive oil, and not some added oregano or something. These are great to have around as snacks and are great portable snacks if you're going somewhere (so many snacks are sweet, so it's good to have a savory option). Just the right amount for a snack.

Yummers!
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
I love olives especially kalamatas! I just wish there were more than eight of these in each little pouch. I'd be willing to pay more for that honestly! That's how good these are! Highly recommend these!

Not good
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
These were mushy, very small and salty. I was expecting nice crisp large olives that I love. It is packed in olive oil. Shark tank said they were nice and dry (easily to eat). They are not. Disappointed.

Yummy and convenient
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
The perfect car food. Tides me over nicely until I can get home or to the grocery store. Good quality. No questionable ingredients. Just really high-quality Kalamata olives in a convenient small pack! Will buy again!

They’re all good!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
The original is classic! Simple ingredients, clean taste, medium thickness to the slices, not too dry, great coriander taste. Only 6 ingredients. Love it.
The peri-peri has a nice slow burn
Lemon pepper has subtle flavors and flirts with perfection.
Minimalist biltong - just beef, salt, vinegar. A little salty (not too much). Really nice but, as expected, lacks depth.
Similar to the original, with addition of rosemary and garlic. Yum! The garlic adds lots of umami to an already umami-rich snack.
