The Southern Miss Business 2023 Boardman Distinguished Entrepreneur of the Year luncheon will be held at noon on Friday, November 17, 2023, in the Trent Lott National Center on the Hattiesburg campus. The honorees this year are Doug and Susan Fasano Williams who are the owners of Kalalou, Inc., a home furnishings and décor wholesale company located in Jackson, Mississippi. Nearly four decades ago, while vacationing in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, the Williamses became inspired by items they found at the local, vibrant market square. Their ideas of creating a thriving business flourished into an international wholesale company with a reach that spans nine countries.
