Venus Behbahani-Clark

Venus Behbahani-Clark is a force to be reckoned with - resilient, unwavering, and deeply committed to truth. While she is a woman of immense compassion, she knows that some actions cannot go unchecked, and certain betrayals demand consequences. Her very core is defined by integrity, ensuring that those who deceive or betray her face the repercussions of their actions. Venus inspires love and connection, but she never allows deceit or manipulation to slide. Born in Iran during a time of political turmoil, Venus’s life began amid the Shah’s regime and was shaped further by the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Her family, deeply entangled with the regime, experienced betrayal and deception that imprinted Venus with a fierce resolve. As refugees, they moved to Italy, and then to Australia, where Venus confronted adversity head-on. From a young girl who didn’t speak English, she grew into a woman of intellect, compassion, and fierce determination. With degrees in Arts and Law from Monash and La Trobe Universities, Venus became not just an academic force but a devoted mother, wife, and visionary businesswoman. Through every challenge, she has remained grounded in truth, turning hardship into a testament of strength, resilience, and an unshakable spirit that cannot be broken.
