my name is Asia Jackson and I’m an actress & content creator based in los angeles!
i spent the beginning years of my adulthood feeling totally lost. it was difficult for me to find joy, be happy, and simply participate in life. i felt like i was floating, watching life pass me by. one day, i decided to reclaim my power & change my life. i have made a commitment to live an intentional, beautiful, and joyful life. it is my promise to you to help you do the same and BECOME THE BEST YOU ✨

I love how ur vlogs aren’t just aesthetically pleasing but also shows personality and authenticity which i noticed some content creators lack. Parang it gives us a peek pf how u are to others and as a person. Feels personal, too. Love ur mom!

[@lxvinqly]

[@shiroiseyo]

The casual lunch with Liza Soberano 😭🥰 Loved this series and looking forward to more Asia in Asia blogs, especially sa Pinas

[@Gaykitty927]

The filipino vlog intro was spot on 😂

[@gitanjalix]

yaaassss ate asia has risen

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

❤❤missing my bestie who passed 2 years ago. A nurse in the Philippines. Covid. She could beat me at scrabble and was trying to come back to California. So smart and loyal. I miss her. 🕊️🎴💄🌊❤️‍🩹📚

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

@@aasian much healing to all.

[@crystalnavarro]

I'm going back to the motherland at the end of the year, and seeing this vlog makes me SO excited to go. I'm going to go back and watch your old videos in the Phillipines lol

[@marccolomayt82094]

Pretty Asia living her Manila life! I like it! ❤❤❤

[@geov3138]

talk about your experience being Blasian is the different Asian countries you've been. I would love to hear how they compare

[@robynr3130]

I really enjoyed following your and your mom's adventures in Asia. Thank you for taking me along in your suitcase!

[@TheEthanGonzales]

livin for this seriesss 😮‍💨❤️‍🔥🤌🏽

[@JackieBrown111]

I love all of your bidyos, especially these travel ones

[@shari_606]

The black dress looks really beautiful on you.

[@jonathanbuhay8794]

Metro Manila is a Cafe Society, so many cafes and restaurants in the metro. Love the places you have visited. It has been a decade since I have visited BGC, so many changes and new developments. 😊

[@my-wb7vp]

Hi, Asia!! Been a quiet but avid subscriber for a while. Happy you're glowing and thriving here in Manila! ❤❤❤ While I agree that Sunnies Face is a pretty great make-up brand in terms of quality and range (I've used some of their products in the past) some of their owners have been known to have certain political beliefs, being largely connected to the Marcos family in the past and today. Ferdinand Marcos was a dictator who put the Philippines under Martial Law back in the 70s, and ever since then their family has been linked to corruption, human rights violations, and other different crimes. Nothing against you of course, Asia! Just something that I think should be known to other potential consumers and customers for consideration, among other issues (can be searched up!) Thank you for your videos and much love!!

[@rwansays]

I enjoyyyed watching Asia in Asia ;) And your mom is so cute love her little appearances

[@patriciagrullon7838]

This is my fav of all your trip's vids. I really enjoy how you had fun w/family!

[@marianlopez4739]

I'm shook, I always confuse Filipino people with Mexicans now I know why. Even our languages are similar, I understand perfectly what it says on your shirt

[@mariastewart9820]

Some Filipinos have Mexican blood, I heard ! ❤

[@ermactuallyy]

@@mariastewart9820 That's not true lol, I think you mean Spaniards but we arent even related to them we were just forced to change our last names. Mexico and the Philippines are way too far from each other to be related we were just colonized by the same people and because of that relate to each other a little bit.

[@baetoul9275]

the gold sash goes crazy

[@queenv08]

I love how your mom barely speaks but shows out for the camera 😂😂

[@myraclejoy]

First time watching your video, and I am so in love You make me wanna go to the Philippines so bad it’s already on my wish list to go to Japan this year 2023 I would’ve gone with the first pair of sunglasses as well. Your shirt is so bomb you’re so bomb keep going girl.❤❤❤
