La’Darius Marshall to Jerry Harris: “You’re so empowering. You lift people who don’t have the power to lift themselves sometimes … You are a role model in my life. And I love you so much.” Watch the 'Cheer' stars' full discussion -- CheerNetflix
Marshall said one of the most gratifying experiences of participating in the “Cheers” docu-series is the sense that they’re changing hearts and minds.

Viewing on his mobile phone, Antonio’s tears up, showing the type of emotions that Marshall said his brother never did when they were growing up. “I feel like the validation that we get for what we're doing is just so empowering to us like, OK, we're doing something right for somebody, and those people have enough voice to talk to us as well, so it feels really good,” Marshall said of the responses they have received.
