Haute Secrets: Nightclub Owner Jayma Cardoso
The Big Apple is home to some of the hottest nightlife in the world and no one knows that better than Jayma Cardoso. In an industry often dominated by men, the Brazilian native has become one of the most respected nightclub, hotel and restaurant owners in New York City and beyond.
