Joe and Jill Biden welcomed daughter Ashley Blazer Biden, their only child together, on June 9, 1981.
The Tulane grad got her master’s degree in social work from University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in 2010 and was associate director of the Delaware Center for Justice for more than seven years.
In 2017, Ashley founded the clothing brand Livelihood, her logo—the letters LH being pierced by an arrow—a tribute to her late brother Beau.
“We have to sometimes be pulled all the way down to shoot forward,” Ashley explained to The Lily in June 2020. “He was my bow. His cancer brought me to my knees. I had no choice but to shoot forward, keep going, keep aiming at my own dreams.”
“I’m extremely proud of her,” Joe told E! News when she debuted the line at New York Fashion Week. “She’s been trying to change the world since she’s been 3 years old, and I think she’s going to do it.”
Ashley told TODAY she planned to use her platform as first daughter “to advocate for social justice, for mental health, to be involved in community development and revitalization.”
When it comes to dealing with the vitriol directed at her family, especially her dad and brother Hunter, she told Elle in 2023, “The real flex is staying kind no matter how cruel the world gets.”
Not that she didn’t get angry. “I think it’s human nature when anybody that you love dearly is attacked,” she added, “wrong stuff is out there that is just complete BS.”
