about me

my name is noelle (they/them). in toki pona spaces, i am known as soweli Nowe.

outside of linguistics, i make youtube videos, i stream on twitch, i make music, and i do so many things online! i speak (in order of proficiency) english, toki pona, spanish, chinese, and esperanto. i’m also learning japanese and welsh, and i really want to learn greenlandic and haitian creole! i started learning toki pona in early 2023 and found it fascinating, fun to use, and easy to learn. i started with learning from jan Misali’s “12 days of toki pona“ then purchased pu a couple days after that. my knowledge in toki pona is not expansive, but i try my best.

these are some cool things i work on in the toki pona community: i’m on the toki pona translation teams for minecraft, terraria, and purrgatory; i translated the first episode of bee and puppycat into toki pona; i’m working on lipu Somoku, a toki pona community cookbook, designed to teach the basics of cooking, inspired by lipamanka’s “toki pona cookbook manifesto;” and of course, this website, where i show off random works in and about toki pona.
