Raufa was born in the South of the U.S. and raised Southern Baptist. As an adult, Raufa moved to the West Coast, and became involved in Sufism, eventually converting to Islam. After praying and searching on Google for opportunities to serve people from an Islamic perspective, Raufa decided to enroll at Hartford Seminary and move into a home with other Muslims to further explore her Islamic faith. Coming to Hartford, was the first time Raufa had interacted with people who were born Muslim. Raufa struggles not only with learning Arabic, but also with connecting with the other members of her community across age and cultural divides.
