In this episode, I interview ID&E Leader Constanza Cabello. Dr. Constanza Cabello (Connie/ she/ her) joined State Street Corporation in 2021 as the Vice President for Equity Programs on the Global Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Team. Prior to joining State Street, Connie was a senior diversity officer in higher education. She continues to serve as a faculty member for the Equity Institutes Program at the University of Southern California Race and Equity Center. She was instrumental in the creation of the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education’s “New Undergraduate Experience” initiative, which serves as a guiding document to reimagine Massachusetts’ public higher education system through the lens of racial equity.
Much of her volunteerism and service is focused on advancing conditions for People of Color
and women. Within State Street she serves as a Mental Health Ambassador, and the co-chair of the Professional Development Committee of the Latin American Professionals Group. She is the Director of Community Affairs for ALPFA Boston, and a leader for the Boston Women’s Dinner Group.
Connie has been recognized by local and national organizations. Most recently, she was
selected by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and City Awake as a 2022 Ten
Outstanding Young Leader. She was also named to the 2022 Latinas to Watch List by ALPFA
(Association of Latino Professionals For America).
She holds a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership Studies from Northeastern
University, a Master of Science in Counseling from Central Connecticut State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Social Policy and Planning from the University of Connecticut.
Connie is a proud Chilean- American, Latina and immigrant.
In this episode, Connie shares her personal story and we delve into what it means to be Latina in the U.S., to unlearn beliefs and narratives like the hustle mentality and not feeling “good enough” that don’t serve us, the challenges we’ve overcome and continue to face as women of color, and the incredible opportunities in front of us. We also talk about what companies could do better; and you’ll hear Connie’s perspective on equity first, and why we need to focus on fixing conditions, not people.
