"Been there, done that" – influencer will now focus on Inatsisartut

When Sermitsiaq meets Qupanuk Olsen at Naleraq's office in Inatsisartut the day after the election, she knows exactly where the offices are.

But as a newly elected member, she has not yet received keys to the building. Therefore, she must get help from party consultants and members of Inatsisartut to be shown around the party hall.

For five years she has been Greenland's biggest influencer, and has never had competitors when it comes to bringing people together. Politics is a new world, where she quickly learned about power struggles during the election campaign.

She has also realized how important it is to weigh her words. This became clear when she was criticized by colleagues and citizens for asking how many people commit suicide because they don't speak Danish. That experience taught her a lesson.

“After that, I understand how important it is to choose your words carefully,” she says.

Qupanuk Olsen is known all over the world, and also in Greenland. But her 1.6 million followers can expect to see less of her in the future.

– I feel like I’ve achieved what I wanted to with Q’s Greenland. It makes it easier to let go because I feel like I’ve “been there, done that” (I’ve already been there, ed.).

- Now it's time to move on, says Qupanuk Olsen, who has received 202 personal votes.

And she knows what she will prioritize when the Inatsisartut collection starts.

– I hope we can come up with a proposal so that we can change the time zone back to UTC-3. And then drop summer and winter time. That way we can have a time zone that matches the position of the sun, says Qupanuk OIsen.
