The founder of Chesapeake Bay Candle credits her company’s success to her first Bank of America loan. Now she’s helping other women, especially her fellow immigrants, shine too.

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.
