Does anyone know if Mayor Foxx has ever held a job in the private sector?

I'm fairly sure that information is readily available to anyone with an internet connection. Do some research.

So is that the face we guys have when we are that time of joy?

Women are always talking about the face and making fun of it, now we can see it.
