Kimmie Gordon makes the woods inviting for everyone
Kimmie Gordon is working to make green spaces in Indiana welcoming for everyone. Brown Faces, Green Spaces — the organization Gordon runs — promotes diversity outdoors by leading camping, birding, fishing, archery, hiking and other activities for people of color in Northwest Indiana. She has loved nature and the outdoors since she was at least 6 years old. That's when she began attending Girl Scout camp in Valparaiso with her sister. But they were the only Black girls in camp, which initially led Gordon to believe her culture doesn't love nature. Now she spends her time turning that belief upside down. Gordon wants to share her experiences in nature with others. She found herself centered and at peace when she would visit neighborhood parks as a teenager. Those feelings led her to pursue a graduate program, become involved with her community and move back to Gary where she started Brown Faces, Green Spaces. Current rhetoric around DEI initiatives across the county and in National Parks has made her future uncertain, but Gordon said she and her organization will continue doing what they've been doing year after year: catering to people and helping create experiences in safe and welcoming spaces 'for us, by us and with us.' We spoke with Gordon in August about her job and the environment. Her answers are edited for brevity and clarity. SUGGEST A SUBJECT: Know someone doing good things for Indiana's environment and want to see them featured here? Email Karl and Sophie at: and to let us know. The privilege of being able to provide our local youth and senior populations the opportunity to experience the natural world, the outdoors, something they may not otherwise have ever done or had access to. And one of my favorite parts of that is seeing people experience outdoor joy like the reaction on a child's face when they catch a fish for the very first time, or a senior participant that gets in a canoe for the first time in their life and loves it. How their faces light up with such jubilation and excitement. overcoming their personal fears related to the outdoors — then they try it, love it, and come back again and again. Those are the things that make me proud — the people. Living with environmental inequities and feeling powerless to change it has been a common source of stress for me lately. Though things are slowly pivoting back to inequitable access, I'm determined to keep working to address the systemic issues creating barriers for people of color to be able to access and enjoy nature. The rollback of DEI in our national parks and green spaces where programming such as ours is now prohibited by federal mandates. Even sadder is the accommodation that some organizations are giving the federal government to help do away with diversity in our national green spaces. They do so without any consideration of how it affects diverse audiences. The rollbacks of years of progress towards environmental justice protections that we've fought so hard to institute were gone in just a matter of weeks in 2025. The many decades that the people have fought for environmental justice and outdoor equity dissolved with just a signature. Environmental justice and racism — diversity, equity, and inclusion — none of that will ever go away, and it's more important now than ever for communities to continue to mobilize around these issues. In a society infused with digital devices and constant distractions, oftentimes people forget that stillness exists somewhere. When we put down the phones and turn off all the noise, there is nature. I mean, what would happen if there was absolutely no digital access on any device at all? We would have to depend on sustaining ourselves through nature, and it's all around us. We don't have to wear fancy outdoor gear or go out on a trail or riverbank to experience nature, even something as simple as sitting under a tree in your yard can be a respite for the mind. Finding small ways to explore nature can be just as beneficial as a walk in the Grand Canyon. And everyone should benefit from that. So, I hope to continue to lead by example in these spaces. When people see others that look like them doing things that they may have a fear of or barrier to, it can intrigue them enough to also want to try it. And that's all I want people to do, is just try an outdoor experience that they've never done before, that they may be uncomfortable to think about but worth finding out about. Because I have yet to see any of our first-time participants regret trying, in fact, most of them return time and time again having developed a genuine love for the outdoors and all that nature has to offer. I am fascinated by beavers and their ability to engineer their own ecosystems with the power of their teeth and tails. And did you know they have transparent eyelids that allow them to see clearly under water like a pair of goggles? IndyStar's environmental reporting project is made possible through the generous support of the nonprofit Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

Dear Abby: My family and friends abandoned me after my mom died
DEAR ABBY: I recently spent weeks caring for my mom in hospice. I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. I had announced to family and friends her choice to enter hospice. They knew her death was imminent. Being the last surviving child, it was up to me to arrange her funeral. Everyone, including my friends, asked me to keep them informed as to the service date and time. As soon as I posted the funeral information, the excuses started rolling in. People I had considered close friends and family who supposedly loved my mother came up with a dozen different reasons not to attend her funeral. I took stock after Mom's service and realized I had attended all the bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, funerals and graduations, donated to the school fundraisers, bought their Girl Scout cookies and listened to their litany of woes over the years. At the most horrible time in my life, they chose to leave me alone. Then it struck me: I really have no friends or meaningful family. I feel abandoned and angry, and I'd love to tell those people how I feel. What are your thoughts? — DEVASTATED IN DENVER DEAR DEVASTATED: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother. Your feelings are justified, but understand that your emotions are raw right now. Because you want to tell these people how you feel, do it — but not in anger, even if that's what you may be feeling right now. Speak with each of those folks individually and be honest about how hurt and alone their absence made you feel at a time when you needed them most. They need to hear it, and you need to get it off your chest. DEAR ABBY: My son-in-law, 'Samuel,' whom I adore, is a great partner to my daughter and an amazing father to my grandson. Unfortunately, he talks excessively, moving from topic to topic, even when people walk away or try to deflect to a different subject. He believes he's an expert in multiple subjects, and he expounds about experiences I'm fairly confident never happened. Samuel comes from a history of abuse but has been supported and loved by our family for years. I know he loves and trusts me, and I'm conflicted about whether (or how) I should tell him how his excessive talking may deter his future goals. He is highly intelligent, but if I were an employer, I would pass him by. Knowing what a good, hardworking young man he is, this saddens me. Should I have a private conversation with him about it? This may seem trivial, but it weighs on my heart. Please give me an outsider's opinion. — WISE MOM-IN-LAW DEAR WISE M.I.L.: My intuition tells me that would be a mistake. However, discussing your concerns with your daughter so she can talk to Samuel about them might be a more diplomatic way to get the message across. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
