Nichola Corner

Activist and Speaker

Since the murder of her youngest sister Lyra McKee in 2019 at the hands of dissident republicans, Nichola Corner has sought to continue to share Lyra’s vision for a peaceful and inclusive society in Northern Ireland where everyone feels valued.  From challenging politicians, speaking at secular and multi-denominational religious-based events, to taking part in a range of International, European and local documentaries, Nichola has sought to influence others to share in the collective social responsibility of working towards making Northern Ireland a place where mothers are no longer forced to bury their children as a result of conflict-related violence. As a Master of Education and an Accredited Speaker with over 20 years’ experience, who shares Lyra’s passion for peace and inclusivity, Nichola aims to give her sister her voice back.
