==Early life and education==
Prerna Lal was born on 14 December 1984 in Lautoka, Fiji. Growing up, Lal attended Nehru Memorial Primary School and St. Joseph's Secondary School in Suva, Fiji. When the government of Fiji was overthrown in a militant coup in 2000, Lal's family decided to emigrate to the United States.〔Subramaniam, Mathangi. (''No Other Country for Some People'' ). The Hindu. 4 January 2014〕 The Lal family applied for lawful permanent resident status through Lal's US citizen grandmother but that process took over a decade and in the meanwhile, Lal was left to live as an undocumented immigrant status in the United States.〔(Lal, Prerna. "Undocumented, Unafraid, and Unapologetic" ). IndiaCurrents. 1 March 2012〕 Lal attended Hayward High School in Hayward, California and graduated from the class of 2002. Because Lal was an undocumented student, she did not qualify for federal financial aid or loans to attend colleges of her choice. Her family established a cleaning business and Lal worked long hours to attend Chabot College, a community college, near her home.〔(Lal, Prerna. "Room for Debate: Immigrant Children in Limbo" ). The New York Times. 22 April 2009〕 In 2005, Lal obtained a Bachelor of Arts in political science from California State University, East Bay. Having no career options as an undocumented immigrant, she continued her schooling at San Francisco State University where she obtained a Masters in International Relations.〔Smiley, Lauren. (''The Education Trap'' ). San Francisco Weekly. 21 July 2010〕
