The Inspired

Debra Collier-Harris, M.Ed, Ed.S
Greater Houston Program Director
Welcome to Inspiring Women Today! We are sisters (Debra Collier-Harris and Diane Collier) who love pouring inspiration and encouragement into everyone we meet, just as others have poured into us. We created Inspiring Women Today to equip girls and women with the skills and resources to thrive.
Our day-to-day activities consist of running Strategic Training & Consulting, a company that provides registered agent services, business formation filing and services that ensure businesses stay compliant with the state.
We love fitness, traveling, and empowering others. We are Corpus Christi natives and graduates of the University of Texas at Austin.
