Over the summer, we were able to catch up with Mundial Champion Hillary Williams at one of the stops along the Andre Margutti Cancer Foundation seminar circuit.
This is the first installment of a three-part interview in which Hillary candidly talks about her life, her travels, and her rise to BB. In one instance, she talks about her initial involvement with Projeto Cantagalo.
For those who may not be familiar with this initiative, Projeto Cantagalo (spearheaded 7x World Champion Ricardo Vieira and Alan Finfou) is a community center, located in the Cantagalo slums, where kids can learn and values the life lessons taught by Jiu Jitsu.
