Kensington Grey expands its roster with reality TV stars and plus-size fashion creators

Talent management firm Kensington Grey has signed five new faces, expanding its roster of fashion & beauty creators and reality TV stars.

On the fashion & beauty side, the firm has brought in:

  • plus-size model, Instagrammer, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue finalist Tabria Majors, who’s collaborated with brands like Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret, and Fashion Nova
  • designer, brand consultant, and Instagrammer/TikToker Gabi Fresh, who’s had an eight-year design partnership with swimwear company Swimsuitsforall, has also designed for Playful Promises and Fashion To Figure, and who launched InStyle Magazine‘s plus-size fashion column
  • and beauticurve.com founder Rochelle Johnson, who’s on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube talking plus-size fashion as well as beauty and travel

“We’re ecstatic about welcoming Tabria, Gabi and Rochelle to the agency and look forward to collaborating,” Shannae Ingleton Smith, Kensington Grey’s President and CEO, said in a statement. “Each of them are admired by our team, their peers and brands within the industry. I anticipate our work together will further break down barriers for Black women in the creator industry.”

On the reality TV side, Kensington Grey now represents:

  • Justine Joy, the first Black castmate to win Love Island, and the show’s first ever two-time winner
  • and Kam Williams, who competed in multiple seasons of MTV‘s The Challenge, including Vendettas, War of the Worlds, War of the Worlds 2, Double Agents, Champs vs. Stars 2, and Final Reckoning

The firm says that combined, Joy and Williams have a social media following of more than 1.5 million people.

“Both Justine and Kam have become household names through their work on TV screens over the years and have leveraged their fanbase and prominent platforms to create a flawless transition into the world of content production and entertainment,” Ingleton Smith said. “We are elated to be their agency of record and further amplify their successes and personal brands.”

With these signings, Kensington Grey–which was founded in 2019 as “to address underrepresentation in influencer marketing”–now reps more than 90 US-based creators, many of them from marginalized communities.
