Where Are Yusra and Sara Mardini Now?

As of today, the 24-year-old refugee lives in Berlin; however, on Oct. 15, 2022, she announced via Instagram that she is currently attending the University of Southern California as a film and television production major.

“I’m interested in fashion, acting, and the entertainment world. Those are my ambitions for now, but they change very quickly to be honest,” Yusra told The Guardian in October 2022. She added that refugee rights are still important to her, noting that she will “always work for refugees because I will always be one.”
