Activist,
author, actress, comedian, vocalist, radio personality and relationship
expert are all hats worn by Robbyne Kaamil. Robbyne’s sassy style has
landed her appearances on numerous radio & television shows
including The Howard Stern Show and Bravo’s, “Queer Eye for the Straight
Guy”. As an actress Ms. Kaamil has graced the silver screen in several
independent films including: Bear City: The Movie and Violet Tendencies
starring Mindy Cohn of “Facts of Life”. Last summer her monthly advice
column, “Dear Diva” was launched in Australia’s top gay publication DNA
Magazine. She is also the Official Relationship Expert for Playgirl.
She was inspired to become an animal rights activist after seeing the
PSA “Saving Lolita” which focused on the life of the orca Lolita who has
been held at the Miami Seaquarium for over 45 years. She saw the
parallels between Lolita’s story and her own family’s history in the
Atlantic Slave Trade. She wrote the song “Let the Girl Go: Free
Lolita” to help raise awareness about the orca. The music video was
recently selected to be screened at the 2015 Wildlife Film Festival. Her
latest music video, “Free the Monkeys”, exposes the mistreatment of
monkeys being used in lab experiments in Hendry County, Florida. The
video was produced & directed by NY Times bestselling author and
former HLN television host – Jane Velez Mitchell. PETA co-founder,
Ingrid Newkirk, recently enlisted Robbyne to write & narrate several

parks, zoos & circuses. The PSA’s are currently running nationwide
on ABC, FOX and Bounce TV affiliates.

Part I: Jeff & Joan Stanford, Dining At The Ravens
Jeff
and Joan Stanford came west to Carmel, California to find careers in
education, agreeing to help manage a small inn while looking for work.
Jobs were scarce, the United States was in recession, and they found
themselves enjoying their guests and rehabilitating the property they
managed. The Inn allowed both of them to return to their former
interests. Passionate about early education, Joan trained as a
Montessori teacher and received her MA in psychology, specializing in
Art Therapy, at Sonoma State University. Today she is a registered art
therapist, collagist, and educator. Jeff became vegetarian as a first
step to honor all life, not only the lives of his family, friends, and
pets. He and Joan sought to create an inn that sat softly upon the
earth. They created one of the first “green” bed and breakfast inns
without realizing they were doing so. Understanding that their Inn was a
destination, Jeff and Joan wanted to provide the highest quality food
to their guests, which Jeff began cooking in the early 1990s. The
restaurant followed their philosophy serving a whole food, plant based
dishes designed to rival the cuisine found at the highest rated
restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area.
