How Entrepreneur Mei Xu Shares Her Light by Mentoring Other Women Business Owners

When Mei Xu immigrated to the U.S. from China in 1991, she saw a chance to create an opportunity for herself. The founder of Chesapeake Bay Candle had trained as a diplomat for ten years, but knew that she wanted to start her own business—a choice that dismayed her father. “I had grown up in a country where it’s very uniform,” she says. “And I wanted to create the beauty that I didn’t see.

And when a small business does well, it’s not just the founder that succeeds—it lights a fire that can illuminate far beyond just one person. With her Bank of America loan, Xu was able to create good-paying factory jobs, where the women she employed could leave work at 4 p.m. to be home with their kids. And now, through the power of mentorship, Xu’s light is going even further.
