About

My name is Prerna Lal, which translates as Inspiration Red. I am currently a law student at George Washington University and someday a tenure-track professor. I have a love for technology and social media, critical theory and history.

This blog began as an exploration that signified a departure from thinking in binary terms of black/white, male/female, legal/illegal, straight/gay and other social categories. Borders do not necessarily denote the arbitrary territorial lines on a map but also the borders within our minds that allow social constructions of difference to divide us. This site is really a narrative of my journey and the contents on this site will change with wherever life takes me.

After my graduate studies, I spent almost three years working as an online organizer. As a Founder of DreamActivist, I built a vibrant activist immigrant youth community online, which has mobilized thousands into action both online and on-the-ground. I moved on to independent consulting jobs with the campaign to protecting marriage in Maine and later a short stint with CODEPINK as an online organizer.

I currently freelance for the Immigrant Rights and Race in America blog at Change.org and serve as a Board Member for Immigration Equality.
