Send us Fan MailThis week I'm back talking with Filipa Rodrigues Abreu. I met Filipa a few years back when we were looking for a house in Rochester. As I got to know her I realized Filipa really does it all. She's acted and directed, she’s a real-estate agent, but lately she's been tapping into other sides of her creativity by perusing stand-up comedy and kickboxing. Last month she sent me the flyer for her first professional fight. So I needed to catch up with her and talk to her about what got her in kickboxing and what made her want to pursue her first professional fight. This is a two part episode the first is before the fight and the next episode will take place after her fight.
