This week on Life Along the Streetcar, we kick off Women’s History Month by honoring a true Tucson icon—Cele Peterson. More than a fashion trailblazer, Cele was a fierce advocate for Tucson’s cultural and civic development. From founding businesses to shaping institutions like the Children’s Museum Tucson, her legacy runs deep in the heart of our city. In this episode, we sit down with Dan Buckley, a celebrated Tucson storyteller, who had the privilege of interviewing Cele before her passing in 2010. Through personal memories, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand accounts, we uncover the unstoppable spirit of a woman who turned bold ideas into reality. Cele Peterson wasn’t just a leader—she was a force of nature. Whether it was advocating for local businesses, shaping public policy, or making the mayor’s office take action, she wove together the fabric of Tucson’s past, present, and future. Join us as we celebrate Cele Peterson’s enduring impact and recognize the women who have built and continue to shape Tucson. 🎧 Listen now and celebrate Women’s History Month with us! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and share to keep these important stories alive! 💬 What women have inspired YOU in Tucson?
