She is on the Editorial Board of Apolitical and writes regularly on gender and foreign policy for outlets, such as Ms., Foreign Policy, Devex, The Hill, Thomson-Reuters Foundation and openDemocracy. In August 2019, Lyric was nominated by Governor Cooper to the North Carolina Council for Women; she is also on the board of the advocacy organization North Carolina Women United.
