Tyna Edwards Unfiltered: Authenticity, Ambition, and Bravo’s Sold on SLC
Catching up with Tyna Edwards is like diving into a conversation with someone who could motivate you to conquer the world while making you laugh until your sides hurt. Equal parts motivational coach and candid best friend, Tyna exudes authenticity and confidence that resonate with everyone she meets. Her journey—from a practical-minded accountant to a thriving real estate agent, and now a breakout star on Bravo’s Sold on SLC—is nothing short of inspirational. “I want people to know you can do it. It’s possible to make it happen. No matter what life throws at you, what size it is, you can make it happen,” Tyna says with a conviction that could spark anyone’s ambitions.
When it comes to Sold on SLC, Tyna knows she’s bringing the real deal. “I feel honestly—and I can say this about myself because I am a confident person—I’m funny, I’m real, and I’m authentic,” she declares. “I mean what I say. I say what I mean. This is what you get. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t.” That unapologetic honesty is part of what makes her a standout in a sea of big personalities. Tyna’s presence ensures the show is packed with genuine moments, humor, and a fresh perspective that viewers won’t want to miss.
As for what audiences should expect? Tyna has her priorities straight. “They should expect these cheekbones,” she jokes, flashing her signature wit. “And, of course, a little bit of drama—because everybody likes a little bit of drama. Some fun, comedy, and gorgeous houses. We’re all funny, some of us more than others,” she teases. But beyond the high-end homes and evolving relationship dynamics, Tyna hopes the show delivers something deeper. “I want people to know it’s okay to be who you are and be accepted for who you are. Life throws things at you, but you can still ride that roller coaster and thrive.”
Tyna’s passion for real estate isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about building connections. “I really do love what I get to do,” she says with a genuine smile. “I love creating relationships. I love making friends. I love being part of the journey with these people.” From first-time buyers to luxury estate clients, she approaches each deal with the same excitement and responsibility. “It’s just so cool that somebody puts all that trust in you to help them make the biggest investment of their life,” she adds.
Her journey into real estate is a testament to perseverance. Encouraged by her cousin while working as an accountant, Tyna pivoted to real estate with a mix of curiosity and determination. “It wasn’t always this way for me,” she admits. “Behind the luxury homes and the lifestyle, I built myself up from scratch. You can make it happen, but it takes grit.” That grit has propelled her to success in one of the nation’s most competitive real estate markets.
As a Black lesbian in Utah, Tyna understands the importance of representation. “I want other women like me—minority women, Black women, Brown women—to know we’re out here, we’re kicking ass, and we’re taking names.” She hopes the show sheds light on her real-life experiences—the triumphs, the challenges, and everything in between. “This is what people crave in shows like this—realness and heart.”
Tyna’s personal life is equally inspiring. After leaving the Mormon church and embracing her identity, she has built a life with her partner BJ and her two daughters that exemplifies love and resilience. Even when faced with professional challenges, such as a damaging rumor that could have shaken her standing, Tyna remains steadfast, letting her hard work and integrity speak for themselves.
As we wrap up, Tyna shares her ultimate hope for the show: “I feel like we needed this platform, especially as Black women professionals in Utah. I want people to see that success is possible no matter where you start.” And Tyna Edwards? She’s proof that authenticity, resilience, and a good sense of humor can create not just a career, but a legacy worth watching.
