Quotes Something came over me [while we were filming the scene] where I thought about everything Jayson was going through, alongside things that have happened in my own personal life – racial discrimination, run-ins with the police, my friends being suspended My mission is not only to provide new perspectives, but to provide inspiration for people. I want to help people learn because I’m still learning myself, and when we start having [these discussions], we can help each other become better people. The show was based on something that would’ve happened in the past [at the time of airing], but the things that happen in the show are things that could’ve happened after the show came out. It’s history repeating itself […] in such a negative way. ‘GRAND ARMY’ IS A REFLECTION OF TEENAGE CULTURE AT LARGE;By Marissa Lee It still feels like I got Jason with me. His story is not too different from people that I know. The only difference is that he wasn’t aware that he’s a young black man in America at such a young age; he was hidden from it. I’m down for anything, but the real-life stories feel especially important in this the time that we’re in. People have a good time watching projects less rooted in realism, but it won’t stick with you as much as Grand Army does. I get messages from people about how the show inspired them and how it changed their lives, which is really important. I don’t really feel any pressure – I feel incredibly blessed. God’s not going to put me in a position that I can’t handle. As long as I focus on the task at hand, I feel like I can do anything – it’s just about how hard I work at it. At this point, I don’t know how else to explain it. Not in a cocky way, but I do feel like I can do anything that I put 100% effort into.
