About Magazine A PRAÇA
Magazine A Praça, founded by David Loureiro, is a visionary project designed to connect Portuguese- and English-speaking communities across the globe.
David Loureiro, a recognized and successful entrepreneur and dedicated member of the Portuguese-American community, resides in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. Despite the distance from his hometown of Água de Pau, Azores, he remains deeply connected to his Portuguese roots.
With Magazine A Praça, Loureiro aims to foster a sense of unity among emigrants and their descendants, helping them stay connected to their cultural heritage. The magazine seeks to be a bridge between generations, offering a fresh editorial perspective that celebrates the achievements and experiences of Portuguese communities worldwide.
This publication is committed to shining a spotlight on the diverse stories of Portuguese people, whether they are building new lives abroad or continuing to contribute to the rich cultural tapestry of Portugal, particularly in the Azores. These stories are a testament to the enduring spirit of the Portuguese people, who have carried their language and traditions to every corner of the globe. As a country with a long history of emigration, it is our responsibility as a publication to give voice to those who have shaped the identity of our nation.
Magazine A Praça is inclusive, welcoming all perspectives regardless of religion, political beliefs, gender, or race. Our mission is to provide a platform for sharing ideas, gathering testimonies, and addressing the aspirations and challenges of our readers. Together, we strive to build a better world, rooted in the preservation of our cultural identity.
This magazine captures dreams and disappointments alike, but above all, it is dedicated to exploring the customs, traditions, politics, and health of our communities, always with a positive outlook. We believe that even in life’s hardships, there is always a path to victory, a way to find joy amidst adversity. To achieve this, we rely on each of you to share your stories, the fruits of your labor, and your ambitions, ensuring that we remain connected, regardless of the distances that separate us.
Magazine A Praça is more than just a publication; it is a place where our lives are discussed, and where the nostalgia of our islands and regions can be shared, both within our borders and beyond.
