Pura Belpré (1899-1982) is one of the most important public intellectuals in the history of the Puerto Rican diaspora.

This was true years ago when companies used defined benefit pension plans where they guaranteed a certain retirement income for retirees. Afraid of short sales, I decided to get educated for once and for all by purchasing several books and to my surprise yours was the easiest to understand and put into practice. Great read!.

Perhaps the term "the nameless" makes you think of unimaginable entities out of space and time with revoltingly indescribable features; it certainly brought a Lovecraftian connotation to my mind initially. There were so many swoon worthy moments, just absolutely breathtakingly adorable and tender instances between them. ✿✿ ABSOLUTELY â
