Jesse Jackson scandal resulted in a daughter born out of wedlock — today, she’s all grown up

Through her nonprofit and podcast, PUSH The Next Generation, she focuses on youth civic engagement and fostering dialogue across generations. Her advocacy also extends to food justice initiatives, promoting plant-based education in underserved communities.

Following her father’s death, Ashley shared a heartfelt message on social media.

“I am immensely grateful to have been held by your love—a love so vast it moved nations and changed lives,” she wrote. “That love is what will sustain our connection in all realms. It does not end; it simply shifts form. Your presence and your love will remain with me always. I promise to honor your legacy, now and forever.”
