Early life

Prada was born and raised in Hialeah, a city in the metropolitan Miami area. Through her grandparents, she is of Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and French descent.[2] Prada's parents immigrated to the United States. She was raised speaking Spanish.[1]

Career

Prada began acting as a child, performing in church and school productions. She pursued acting professionally when she was 23.[3] While acting in minor roles, she worked as a concierge at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.[4]

Her first lead role was in

Creative Arts Emmy Award nomination.[3] She introduced herself to Stranger Things casting director Carmen Cuba after the ceremony, and Cuba called Prada later to read for a role in the Starz drama Vida, which was in production.[3]

Prada first auditioned for the roles of Lyn and Cruz, but was eventually offered the role of Emma, a Mexican-American woman who moves back to her gentrifying neighborhood in East Los Angeles after the death of her mother.[4] Vida debuted in May 2018 and the second season premiered on May 23, 2019.

She is a founding member of a female art collective called Damarosa, which looks at the artistic work of influential women in literature.[5]
