"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battles which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." - E E. Cummings

Many people, including those who work at or attend institutions of higher education, are subjected to daily onslaughts of bias, discrimination, and microaggressions, but don't understand the things they suffer with are biopsychosocial symptoms of RBF. In order for these institutions to be authentically diverse, equitable, and inclusive, they must educate all of their students, faculty, and staff about the concept and incorporate policies and procedures that prevent RBF.
