In every facet of her life, Dr. Sheena J. Collier exemplifies purposeful leadership and a relentless pursuit of impact. From the federal logistics corridors of the U.S. Department of Defense to classrooms filled with aspiring real estate professionals, her journey is one defined by resilience, representation, and a commitment to building systems that uplift others.

Dr. Collier’s professional career spans over two decades in federal service, where she has managed critical logistics operations, including strategic planning, asset visibility, and demilitarization programs. As the Army’s Item Unique Identification Warehouse Functional Lead, she played a key role in modernizing asset management systems across global military operations.

But what makes Dr. Collier’s story exceptional is not just her professional expertise—it’s how she integrates her lived experiences into her work and writing. “My inspiration to join Voices on Paper Global came from a desire to tell stories that aren’t often heard—stories of women who lead with integrity, build with intention, and overcome with grace,” she explains. Her writing amplifies the voices of Black women in leadership, blending technical knowledge with human-centered narratives that transcend industries and borders.

Through her work, Dr. Collier tackles global issues such as gender equity, economic empowerment, and access to education. Her writing centers on breaking barriers—especially for those navigating historically male-dominated fields like logistics, defense, and real estate. “Representation matters,” she says. “When a young Black girl sees someone who looks like her leading in federal spaces or closing multimillion-dollar real estate deals, it rewires what she believes is possible.”

A passionate educator, Dr. Collier is also the founder of Provision Realty, LLC, and Provision Real Estate Academy. Her dual role as broker and instructor allows her to coach professionals from all walks of life, sharing practical tools alongside inspirational lessons. She sees writing as an extension of that mission: “When I write, I teach. I share. I build bridges between what we know and what we dream.”

Authenticity is a cornerstone of her storytelling. Whether she’s writing about community service or real estate reform, Dr. Collier remains anchored in her roots—those shaped by HBCU values, civic engagement, and a legacy of servant leadership. “Writing for a global audience doesn’t mean losing who you are,” she notes. “It means inviting others into your world in a way that builds understanding and unity.”

To emerging authors, Dr. Collier offers this advice: “Write with boldness. Your story is your authority. Don’t wait for validation—your lived experience is enough.” She believes authors have the power to influence policy, perception, and purpose across continents.

In an age of digital connection, Dr. Collier uses technology to extend her reach, foster collaboration, and mentor others internationally. From webinars to virtual writing collectives, she’s cultivating a global network of changemakers who use storytelling as a tool for transformation.

Dr. Sheena J. Collier is not just writing chapters—she’s building legacies. Her life is proof that when service and vision meet, the result is global impact.
