About Us

The Team

Brenda - Founder

Brenda started Venus Rising™ as a way to empower women through the engine of conscious business, the power of immersive experiences and the beauty of inspiring storytelling. Personal/professional development, holistic wellness & intentional community completely shifted her life and beliefs. Once lost, dejected and aimless, she is now a joyous & purposeful real estate executive, destination retreat host, serial entrepreneur and investor.

It is her mission to share the world-class modalities and treasures gathered on her life's journey with the Venus Rising tribe for our collective awakening and expansion. May you receive the blessings from these magical talismans and resources from this sisterhood to live as your best and highest self. Let's all rise, together.

Galina - Marketing Director

Galina joined Venus Rising™ in hopes of uplifting women to their highest potential. As a student-turned entrepreneur, she understands how lonely path entrepreneurship can be. However, it doesn’t have to be! The beauty of community brings the best out of us, unleashing creative synergy, belonging, and so much possibility. The choice starts with you. Galina is also a marketer, and upcoming real estate professional. She is a strong believer that the smallest actions can create the biggest differences.

Justine - Social Media Manager

Justine is a proud working student and breadwinner for her family, so she knows firsthand how women's communities can be a big help in uplifting each other. She joined Venus Rising™'s tribe to harness the power of social media for the brand and assist women in reaching their fullest potential. She is also a part-time model and a member of many organizations that aim to create a better world - a heaven on earth. Let's all unite for a better version of ourselves and a better living paradise for everyone.

Sophia - Intern

Sophia is a second-year student at UC Berkeley and a Bay Area native. She is interested in entrepreneurial endeavors with a special focus on philanthropy and giving back to her community. Through her involvement in community service, and her own creative fundraising efforts, she is able to give back to the women in her community and advance her personal mission of making the world a better place. She believes that kindness is contagious and through such altruistic acts, touching those that need a little uplifting, she can ignite a chain reaction. She joined Venus Rising™ because she hopes that through our products and experiences, women can walk confidently, with a little pep in their steps, allowing them to be the best version of themselves and spreading an infectious kindness to others in need.

Rebecca - Wordsmith

Growing up, Rebecca could often be found with her nose buried in fantastical stories of once insecure girls turned brave and beautiful heroines through their journeys to embrace their unique gifts and save the world. As she grew from girl to woman, she discovered a love for the jewelry that helped her embody the feminine power she felt within. Along her own heroine’s journey, she has found community to be a gift as precious as gold and seeks to use her own gifts to remind us that we are never alone. Rebecca joined Venus Rising™ in hopes of using her love of words to tell the story of each piece, so that when you adorn yourself with these talismans, you feel empowered to face your dragons… and make friends with them.

Roya - Community Manager

Roya is a creator, marketer, adventurer, curator of experiences, and plant-based lover of food.

She moved from San Francisco to sunny San Diego and bought several bountiful acres with her husband Josh where they run a boutique orchard in their free time.

She recently launched a new business Orange & Joon which sells handmade stained glass dried citrus slices from their orchard.

She is also currently working on a cookbook with her mom that will be focused on plant-based Persian food. When she’s not eating or cooking you can find her writing, creating content, taking a walk through her orchard, reading up on future trends, in the lab (her kitchen) inventing new recipes, or traveling to an exotic location on the search for the tastiest plant-based restaurants in the world.

She is also an advocate for female founders and business owners. She believes that the ultimate key to financial independence is creating passive income.

Camillia | Partnerships Director

Camillia has a passion for entrepreneurship and joined Venus Rising and Asher May to support other women in achieving their dreams.

She got her start in the tech industry, and while working in startups, achieved substantial growth through the creator economy.

Her experience led her to launch an influencer marketing agency called Mover Shaker Media.

Outside of work, she loves to travel, to hike in nature, and to read.

She believes in learning from many different kinds of people and places a big importance on relationships.
