You can describe your inversions however you like. I think an ordered grid from the center (n,m) is easy to understand (doesn't matter where to start due to radial symmetry), or an image

I would have drawn it quicker by making a fresh start with an 8 x 4 rectangular grid. I was able to floodfill the white areas with black but somehow not with black areas with white.

And of course, this is the optimal solution because you obviously can’t get to the end with only one inversion
Original answer: I can do it in

inverting a set of 4 non-adjacent big triangles (the ones that go BWBW or WBWB), then inverting the 2 black rings that result from that. (Will update with a visual later)
