Welcome Tryenyse Jones and Joe Davis to the IA Board

We are thrilled to welcome Tryenyse Jones and Joe Davis to our Inverted Arts Board of Directors.

Tryenyse Jones

Tryenyse grew up and resides in North Minneapolis and is passionate about making a mark in the world with the gifts and talents she’s been given, with hopes she can inspire others to do the same. For the last 25+ years, she’s been dedicated to fulfilling that mission through multiple platforms, projects, and ministries including leadership in ministry, arts/music, business, and education. She’s an artist, runs an independent record label MARK Music Global, and has a degree in Music Business from McNally Smith College of Music. She’s on the path to obtaining a Psy. D to develop a faith-based holistic health counseling practice for urban communities which would include music therapy. She and her husband Stacey have been married for 2O years and have one teenage son, Priest. They are individual artists and ministers, but also serve as a family ministry team. Fun facts, she’s a former flight attendant and a Zumba fanatic. She loves meeting new people and loves listening to people talk about their life journey.
