Before law school, Fatemeh got her undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego, with a focus on writing/poetry and elementary school education. Growing up in Southern California, Fatemeh found a passion in mentorship and community empowerment. She found her love for children’s education as a Sunday school teacher and while mentoring young Muslim Americans struggling to juggle competing identities. Fatemeh developed Rafiq & Friends as a tool for Muslim families and as a building block for children.*
