Jackson, who is of mixed heritage, was born in California to a Filipino mother and black father.

Growing up, she would often visit the Philippines, and lived and attended school there for a period of time.

The idea of being "fair-skinned" is prized in the Philippines, as it is in many other Asian cultures.

Pictures of fair-skinned women occupy billboards and magazines, and it's not uncommon to see commercials on television advertising skin-whitening products.

"Every moment I spent [in the Philippines], I became increasingly more frustrated...the toxic idea that dark skin was ugly made me ashamed and embarrassed of my skin tone."

So Jackson decided to start the hashtag #MagandangMorenx in an effort to empower Filipinos, no matter their skin tone.

The hashtag was also timed to coincide with Filipino American History Month, which is celebrated each year in October.

The mentality towards light skin isn't one that's going to change overnight, but hopefully it'll get there -- one hashtag at a time.
