'I am proud to be a Maasai woman and a Derry girl'
An SDLP councillor is set to make history as she becomes the first black Mayor in Northern Irish history.
"She has become an important community activist, speaking out on behalf of those who are marginalised and at times, struggle to have their voices heard. He continued that it was a "proud moment for everyone" when Cllr Barr was coopted onto the council in 2021 and that her strong vote in last year’s council election showed how highly the local community think of her.
"Lilian’s story shows that talent and hard work can make a difference and I think it’s fitting that she will make history as the Mayor of Derry and Strabane, a city and region known the world over for standing up against oppression. Councillor Barr said: “I cannot express how much the honour of serving as Mayor of Derry and Strabane means to me. The people of this city have taken me into their hearts and everywhere I go I never fail to be amazed at the warmth, kindness and generosity of the people who live here.
She added: "These are the values I have carried with me since getting involved in politics and are reflected in the ethos of my party.
