Sharon Stone says that she identifies with marginalized communities because she too shares a "diversity issue." The actress noted that since her stroke in 2001, she has struggled to get jobs.
"I had a stroke in 2001. I had a 1% chance of survival. I had a nine-day brain bleed. I recovered for seven years and I haven't had jobs since. My contract changed. I have a maximum of a 14-hour day. When it first happened, I didn’t want to tell anybody because, you know, if something goes wrong with you, you’re out. Something went wrong with me: I’ve been out, for 20 years," she declared.

"I haven’t had jobs. I was a very big movie star at one point in my life. I broke a lot of glass ceilings with the top of my head," she admitted.
