Double Trouble

Alexandra and Morgan Venison, 31 UAE-born Brits and founders of Genii and Co.

I am inspired by women who break down barriers. I have had the most transformative few years of my life. I nearly died of a brain disease called Encephalitis, to ending a 12-year relationship, followed by closing my business that I had been running for five years. It’s been an incredibly difficult journey and I honestly hit rock bottom three years ago and had no choice but to build my life up from scratch.” – Morgan Venison


It is so important to find women who inspire you to be authentic. I am incredibly lucky count some amazing women as family and friends.  They are so strong on the outside but knowing them personally and the obstacles they have overcome, makes me admire them even more. I always stress on being kind. Even just smiling at someone can completely transform their day.” – Alexandra Venison
