RoseMary Tucker

2023 COMMUNITY HERO

As a prayer warrior, a woman of faith and encourager for those needing a breakthrough, RoseMary Tucker is fueled in giving back. Part of that includes homeless provision initiatives and helping mothers in financial needed for children’s medical expenses.

She’s the proud owner of Blessties USA, a Christian apparel and accessories boutique designed to inspire bold fashion, positivity, and love into the lives of others nationally. The company also carries various clothing lines in support of causes and awareness. “I Am Bullied,” which started as a recognition brand for her son who was being harassed at school.

The line’s promotion of hate and hurt replacement comes with a message: Beautiful. Unique. Limitless. Loving. Intelligent. Educated. Determined. Rosemary’s athletic clothing line for men and women is called SWOLLE (Strength,

Wisdom, Overcomer, Loyal, Loving, Empowering).

Being the multi-faceted entrepreneur and innovator she is, Tucker found herself creating a hoodie brand in 2019. Hoodies 4 Healing Foundation, Inc. (501c-3), is a modern line that went viral and assisted in saving her daughter Dyanna DeNae’s life.

After raising over $60K through sells and various supporters, DeNae received an opportunity to have a necessary procedure removing a life-threatening cyst in her brain. Tucker made a heartfelt promise to God that after her daughter’s successful surgery she would dedicate her life daily to blessing others. That includes the community service acts that Hoodies 4 Healing Foundation commits to weekly.

Following the news of her daughter’s progress, the business owner found herself helping those beyond the Houston area. The fashionista and philanthropist strongly believes God has placed herself with a profound gift of giving back alongside her children and volunteers. Before the birth of both her entities, Tucker attended school at St. Phillips College in San Antonio earning a nursing degree. During 1995, she decided to pursue a different career path and relocate to the Houston area. Within a short time, she landed a position at Down Low Promotions working with entertainment legends and icons such as Patti LaBelle, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac, and D.L. Hughley. As her industry insight grew, Tucker chose to step out on faith and created Tucker Entertainment – a promotions company.

The career path didn’t stop there. She eventually took an opportunity with Houston’s own d-mars.com publication. From there, Tucker’s profession steered in real estate for over 20 years helping people get their dream homes.

On Sundays, Tucker and the Hoodies 4 Healing Foundation team collaborates with various sponsors and supporters serving the homeless. The business has donated thousands of hoodies and served over 30,000 children in need. To this date, her squad hasn’t missed a Sunday of servitude since November 2020.

On Dec. 4, 2022, she was honored with the prestigious Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding civic contributions. The date also represents Tucker’s birthday and her annual dedication to giving back to those less fortunate. She’s been chosen as one of the Top 50 Black Professionals and Entrepreneurs of Texas Awards with d-mars.com five years and counting.
