STATEN ISLAND, NY – New York City has no shortage of diverse talents and passions – from subway artists to bodega owners and beginning artists.

To celebrate this creative spirit, Pepsi has selected nine of these various residents of the five boroughs for its new summer campaign, “Pepsi. It’s a New York thing.

In addition, the company gives them $ 10,000 each to continue to embody the true character of the city that never sleeps.

Additionally, the brand invites New Yorkers to nominate six additional residents for their own $ 10,000 chance in support of their passion – for a total of $ 150,000.

STATEN ISLAND TARIQ ZAID

Tariq Zaid, a Staten Island-based entrepreneur who owns the local clothing store Richmond Hood Co. and Vodega, a vegan bodega offering exclusively vegan food in West Brighton, was one of the winners highlighted in the campaign which received $ 10,000 worth of Pepsi.

“I am very grateful to have been nominated, to participate and to represent the Borough of Staten Island. And also because I was the only chosen one from Staten Island. There were other districts from other districts but not from our district, ”said Zaid. “And it’s so inspiring to be recognized outside the borough. I look forward to doing all I can for our great community.
