âš Itâs October 3rd. And yes⊠you CAN sit with us. đđ€
đ Welcome to the #PinkCableClub - available for purchase starting today. đ
SHE-Q Audio teamed up with OMS Canada @oms_canada to create these technically top-tier, professional grade cables that are also cute AF. đžTheyâre good-ass cables, except theyâre pink.
-
đ§In production and engineering sometimes it can feel like this world wasnât built for us - especially as women/gender expansive people. It can feel like we have to fight to be heard, accepted, respected. The #PinkCableClub is about not needing anybodyâs approval to belong - not about how you act, what you look like, or small stuff like the kind of gear you own. To make space in studios, on stages, and behind the boards for everyone. đ¶
It might just be pink cable, but it represents something bigger. That itâs not just okay to be different, but that itâs great. That you belong here - just the way you are. đ
