D
isplaying her unwavering faith in God, partnered with her incredible sense of style and fashion has been the key to RoseMary Tucker’s success as a Black, female entrepreneur. Tucker is the founder and owner of Blessties USA, a Christian apparel and accessories boutique in Cypress, Texas. In 2019, Tucker founded HOODIES4HEALING, a 501c3 organization that is dedicated to selling hoodies and other Christian apparel to help others.
HOODIES4HEALING was spawned from her daughter, Dyanna, who developed a cyst in her brain that needed immediate surgery. Tucker raised over $60k by selling hoodies and afterwards made a promise to God that after her daughter’s successful surgery, she would spend her time continuously helping others in need. From the HOODIES4HEALING foundation she has built a brand that is selfless in service, paying it forward incessantly. Recently, Tucker hosted the “Back to School Community Block Party” event, providing free backpacks, school supplies, and other pertinent items to children of families in need. The event provided free vaccinations, COVID-19 testing, and Law on Wheels was there to offer free legal advice. In addition, there was a DJ, food trucks, and vendors. A highlight of the day (next to giving to the community) was Tucker being presented with a proclamation from the City of Houston naming August 7th “Rosemary Tucker Day.” Tucker lives by the motto, “Let’s heal together.” HOODIES4HEALING continues to bring the community together, one event at a time, providing compassion, healing, and hope. As this is National Black Business Month, Tucker is a great reminder that yes, while we aspire to have success through our businesses, it is also about using our business success to serve the communities where we live and work. We salute you RoseMary Tucker! Keep up the great work through HOODIES4HEALING! For more on HOODIES4HEALING, please visit hoodies4healing.com.
