Meet Jerome Ruffin. For over a decade, he’s been a fixture in Minneapolis nightlife, having climbed the ladder from busser to manager at one of the city’s prominent gentlemen’s clubs. But don’t let the industry fool you. Jerome is a sharp, thoughtful individual with a surprisingly philosophical take on the world. He’s deeply attuned to the societal stigmas faced by both the performers and the establishment itself, and speaks with intelligence and empathy on these often-misunderstood aspects of his work. Beyond the velvet ropes and flashing lights, you’ll find a genuinely kind and insightful person who defies expectations at every turn.
