Isabel Cable: From Guatemala City to Fort Worth | Immigrant Story, Latino Leadership & Entrepreneurship
Isabel Cable—Vice President of Member Services & Strategic Growth at the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (FWHCC)—joins The Global Latin Factor to share an honest, powerful journey from Guatemala City to Texas. In this episode, Isabel opens up about what it really takes to start over as an immigrant: learning English under pressure, navigating rejection, rebuilding confidence, and growing into leadership rooted in service and community.
We also talk about her Chinese-Guatemalan identity, the “rice and beans” mindset that helped her embrace what makes her different, and how she’s helping create belonging, opportunity, mentorship, and business growth through the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber.
In this episode, we cover:
- Guatemala City childhood + Chinese roots
- The Disney International Program and the decision that changed everything
- The emotional and financial realities of the residency process
- Learning English on the job + building leadership confidence
- Rejection, mentorship, and becoming an adaptive leader
