Ashley Blazer Biden, born on June 8, 1981, is the only daughter of U.S. President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden. She grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, alongside her half-brothers Beau and Hunter from her father's first marriage. Her early life was marked by family tragedies, including the loss of her mother and sister in a 1972 car accident (before her birth) and her brother Beau to cancer in 2015, which influenced her commitment to public service. Biden earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Tulane University (2004) and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania (2008). She worked at the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families, focusing on child welfare, and served as executive director of the Delaware Center for Justice from 2014 to 2019. In 2017, she founded Livelihood, a fashion brand that partners with Gilt Groupe to support community programs addressing income inequality. As a social worker, activist, philanthropist, and businessperson, she has been a prominent advocate for human trafficking survivors and vulnerable populations. Her personal life intersected with controversy when her diary was stolen in 2020, sold to Project Veritas for $40,000 by Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander, and used for political exploitation against her father during his presidential campaign, leading to federal charges and guilty pleas in 2022.
