REMEMBERING THE REF FOUR YEARS LATER WITH FONDNESS LAUGHTER AND LOVE Jeffrey “Jeff” Charles Robinson, 42, went to be with the Lord on February 29, 2020. We know he's enjoying the wrestling ring in the sky. He was born on April 19, 1977 at DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, VA to Edgar & Brenda Robinson. Jeffrey is most known for his passion for professional wrestling. As a child, Jeff's late Grandpa Donald Major introduced him to professional wrestling. His love for wrestling never stopped & he was a walking encyclopedia about everything wrestling. He met numerous professional wrestlers throughout his life, but was most proud of meeting Ric Flair & he was very grateful of his friendship with the late Ivan Koloff. When Jeff turned 18, he became an official referee for various indie wrestling circuits which is where he earned the nickname, “Jeff the Ref”. Later, that love of wrestling brought him to become the head of security for Vanguard Championship Wrestling (VCW) & he enjoyed working with everyone there. Most recently Jeff was a co-host in a podcast called, “Wrestling with the Future.” He was so very proud of how much this “little podcast that could” was growing. Jeffrey also enjoyed his time as a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory where he had the opportunity wait on Tom Hanks, Shirley MacLaine & Bruce Smith of the Washington Redskins to name a few. Bruce Smith liked Jeff's service so much that while Jeff worked there, he would only eat there when Jeff was working & even wrote a complimentary letter about Jeff to The Cheesecake Factory offices. Jeff's incredible customer service skills served him very well both at The Cheesecake Factory and then at GEICO where he was a sales agent.

Speaker: Dr. Brenda Robinson. The book of John points out that when the "Feast of Tabernacles was at hand," Yahusha Himself "went up to the feast" and taught at the Temple in Jerusalem. This was done in observance of the final of three annual Festival seasons that are outlined in the Bible, particularly in the book of Vayikra-Leviticus. These three seasons, the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Shavuot-Pentecost and the Fall Festival season, were all observed by Yahusha and the first-century assembly. The latter season is capped by the seven-day Festival of Sukkot-Tabernacles and the Eighth Day (Leviticus 23:33-36). As priests after the order of Melchizedek Torah to the Tribes Saints have made a commitment to follow the example of the first-century assembly, we keep these Holy days!

We return to explore the theme of passing – and the duality of preserving one's identity while being forced to navigate the world in certain ways. Joining us for this episode are producer and philanthropist Brenda Robinson and CEO and civil rights attorney Chaz Ebert. As Executive Producers on the film Passing (2021), Brenda and Chaz have so much to share on their respective roles, as well as the vital importance of the critically-acclaimed movie. Together, we examine systems of oppression and share personal stories of what we gotta do – and what we've had to do – to survive and thrive historically. We also examine Modern Day Passing and the many ways we might pass (intentionally or otherwise) outside of skin color. What is modern-day passing and what are the roles we play to gain equity? How do you find ways to fit into the dominant culture? How do you stay true to self and show up empowered and authentic to everything that you are? QUESTIONS Power-producers Chaz Ebert and Brenda Robinson join hosts Jason and Yvonne Lee to talk access. In this mini-reunion, these four friends and film professionals share why they do what they do – and that is to lift and provide opportunity for voices of color working in film. By highlighting impactful projects like Regina Hall's award-winning debut film, Passing, to new projects like veteran Lisa Cortes' documentary Empire of Ebony which covers 70 years of culture from Ebony and Jet magazines, we learn from the inside what it's like to operate from what can often feel like the outside. We also learn that what matters in this industry is being empowered from within, showing up to the table as your authentic self… and knowing that the table you're at is THE table. What do you gain by not having to pass as anything? In our very first episode with a delicious mocktail, we acknowledge the increasingly popular addition of inclusive mocktails as a beverage choice in social situations. Jason whips up a non-alcoholic French 75 and the conversation flows, as always. Knowing that modern-day passing takes on many, many forms, our guests also share personal stories of how passing has affected them and how it has shown up in their own families. Yvonne poingantly presents Chaz and Brenda with their confessional question, what more needs to be done so that people of color can show up authentically and not have to pass for anything? For more spirited discussions, make sure to subscribe to the podcast. And if you've enjoyed thinking and mocktailing along with us, we'd love for you to leave us a review.
