Asia Jackson has been recognized by Good Morning America and ABC News on their annual GMA Inspiration List, honoring influential Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders. In celebration of AAPI Heritage Month, the list spotlights changemakers who are shaping culture and making a meaningful impact in their communities.

Asia was recognized for her work as an actress, creator, and advocate—most notably through her #MagandangMorenx movement, which challenges Eurocentric beauty standards and celebrates brown skin in Filipino culture. As part of her recognition, she nominated Samantha Tan, the first Asian female winner of the Dubai 24H race, spotlighting excellence across the AAPI community.

This honor reflects Asia’s ongoing commitment to representation, empowerment, and cultural pride across all her platforms.
