Tierra del Sol Artist Neil ‘Nonstop’ Natividad talks about his very cool brand! isn’t just a brand—it’s a way to combine my creativity, my experiences, and my passion to make a real difference. As an autistic artist, creating allows me to express my biggest ideas and share my message.

The best part of the event on September 27th was the scene of people coming together. Connecting with the community and sharing my work is exactly why I do this. From selling 13 shirts on the first day to setting up this full event booth, the journey has been unforgettable. Every design is a piece of my mind running .

In the end, it’s not about the money—it’s about the message, the community, and proving to yourself that you can start. Thank you to everyone who made that day so special! 🚀 Follow along at to see what I build next.

Round of applause for Kevin Vu for officially landing a job at Walmart! 🎉👏🎉

Flor Garcia, Tierra Program Manager, shares, “Kevin’s employment journey began in 2022, and it has been a true story of persistence, hard work, and perseverance. After completing paid internships with National Health Foundation and Grocery Outlet, Kevin continued working on his job skills, applying for 10–15 jobs each week, preparing for interviews, and staying committed—even when the offers didn't come. Kevin never gave up on his goal. He kept showing up, kept learning, and kept believing in himself. Seeing him reach this milestone is incredibly rewarding.”

“From Project SEARCH, to paid internships, to now securing competitive employment, it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come, Kevin. You should be so proud of yourself!" adds Moriah Alvaleno, Tierra Program Manager.

Congratulations, Kevin!!! On behalf of everyone at Tierra del Sol, BRAVO!!! Keep raising that bar and showing the world what people with disabilities CAN do! 🙌🎉

Shoutout to all of the amazing Tierra staff members who helped Kevin along his journey to paid employment, as well as our partners at Walmart for this wonderful opportunity 🤝
