The following is the transcript of an interview given to Miami Go magazine. Jennifer Follia is an actress, dancer, choreographer and celebrity impersonator based in Hollywood, Florida.

Do you use a stage name? Explain.

JF: Yes, I do. I use J. Follia because when I first started performing, I was in a female impersonation show for several years (La Cage Aux Folles) as a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman. It seemed to work so I stayed with it. [Review]
