Plan, Pursue, andProsper

Tenacity. Ambition. Determination. Authenticity.

The redemption story of the management trio known as 3P Consulting Group yields these attributes and so much more. However, the one term that’s not noted, but ever-present, is “powerhouse.” Comprised of celebrity chef Velvet Jacobs, her wife--Treona, and sorority sister and longtime friend Mikel Brabham, this ceiling shattering trio is blazing trails in the plus-size industry and showing no mercy!

Exploding on the scene less than a year ago, 3P was birthed during a period when other talent management companies weren’t enthusiastic about representing plus-sized clients. “Everywhere I turned, I saw the same faces and bodies. I didn’t see anybody who looked like me and I certainly didn’t find a management agency with a roster full of me’s. So I created one,” says Treona. “It just got to the point that I was tired of plus men and women being managed as if being plus was a handicap. We [plus men and women] can be as successful as our counterparts and 3P is here to make sure you do.”
