Hey There, Jefa!

I'm Melissa, Founder & CEO of Bonita Fierce Candles.

It’s my mission to open doors for first-time, multicultural entrepreneurs who have historically not had access to resources. I do this through my monthly newsletter, office hours and speaking engagements.

Take the guesswork out of business basics.

Starting your first product business takes courage. You want to launch but how do you get there? A strong brand foundation. I'll guide you to make decisions from the start, find your audience and present your brand with authenticity.

 As seen in

It’s time to dream big

When people asked me, how I landed in Nordstrom, the Ulta Beauty MUSE Accelerator, and dozens of publications, I redefined my business and asked myself the hard questions.

I want to help set your business for success. Discover your multiple "whys," define your customer and develop your brand foundation and deliver what sets you apart. I’m ready to guide your brand through your unique point of view and make you your own dream jefa!
