With little more than a dream in her heart, the passion in her soul, and two hundred dollars in her pocket, Terra Jolé burst onto the Hollywood scene with a fierce determination to make her mark on the entertainment industry. But she quickly learned that while she may have been ready for Hollywood, Hollywood wasn’t necessarily ready for her. At four foot two, Terra was born with achondroplasia, a form of short-limbed dwarfism, and because of her diminutive stature she often faced unimaginable prejudice and bigotry.

After spending time in the trenches, as an evil elf on tour with Ozzy Osbourne and later as a dancer with Miley Cyrus, Terra struck out on her own and carved out a career for herself as a mini-Britney and mini-Gaga impersonator. But with her larger-than-life optimism and absolute belief in herself, Terra was determined not to be a “mini-anything” for long, and she ultimately captured the hearts of reality TV fans around the world as the star and executive producer of the Lifetime® hit television series Little Women: LA.

Throughout the years, she has personally adopted, fostered, and cared for dozens of pets without homes, about which she is very passionate.
