Susan Muscari Komoto

Susan Muscari Komoto was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised on St. Simons Island off of the coast of Georgia. Growing up on St. Simons Island offered many unique experiences, and her family always made sure community involvement was included in those experiences. Additionally, her late step-father, an OB/GYN, instilled a strong desire to help women and children in need. Through his work, Susan was exposed to the trauma sexually assaulted women go through.  This left an impression on Susan that would later serve as her motivation to help victims of sexual exploitation.

As she made her way from St. Simons Island back to the city of Atlanta, she noticed the issue of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) plaguing her own backyard further ignited her interest in preventing sexual exploitation as she unfortunately witnessed it first hand on set. Eventually, Susan’s infectious passion to help victims of CSEC inspired the formation of Drop Dead Gorgeous (DDG), and volunteer-run nonprofit organization which to serves to raise funds and awareness for the issue of CSEC. As a result of DDG’s efforts thousands of lives have been touched on this issue from the restorative process all the way through the legislative process, and over 1.5 million people have been made aware of the issue through the media efforts of their PR Firm of Record, Effective Media Group.

Susan currently resides outside of Atlanta with her husband and her daughter. Susan continues to freelance as a makeup artist, as well as work as a clinical skincare consultant for Rodan + Fields Dermatologists, and work as a Esthetician for Luxe Lashes focusing on semi-permanent mink and faux mink eyelash extensions.  For more information on her businesses, please visit www.susankomoto.com.
