Sofirah is a Muslim revert who has been married to a Moroccan Muslim for seven years. Here, Sofirah talks about the challenges with no preconceived ideas about Muslims.

As an African-American, Sofirah found some similarities between Arabs and African-Americans as regards being family-centered and communal. One of the differences she found was the sense of history and heritage that Arabs have, which as an African-American, this sense of history was detached; the result being that when you marry an Arab, you marry the entire family!
