AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE 4/15/26!
ABOUT THE BOOK
From the outside, Patrice “Sway” McKinney’s journey looks like a story of success. A self-made entrepreneur. A respected leader. A woman who built something meaningful from the ground up.
But Suite Victory tells the story no one ever saw.
This book is a raw, powerful memoir about what it really takes to survive adversity, build success without a safety net, and choose peace in a world that rewards constant grind. Sway opens up about growing up in survival mode, carrying silent battles, navigating identity and pressure, and learning hard lessons about ambition, boundaries, and self-worth.
Through honest reflection and lived experience, Suite Victory explores the moments behind the milestones, the cost of success, and the inner work required to lead without losing yourself. This is not a story about overnight wins or perfect paths. It is about resilience, self-trust, and redefining success on your own terms.
Suite Spot #1: Redefining the Win
"I used to think victory meant proving something. Proving I was strong enough, smart enough, resilient enough to survive whatever came next. But over time, I learned that real victory is quieter than applause and deeper than titles. It’s choosing yourself even when no one is watching. It’s learning when to push and when to rest, when to fight and when to walk away. Success without peace will always cost you more than it gives. The real win is building a life you don’t need to escape from."
Suite Spot #2: Owning Your Own Terms
"There comes a moment when you realize the rules you’ve been following were never written for you. I spent years measuring myself against expectations that didn’t honor my truth. The turning point was understanding that I didn’t need permission to redefine success. I needed courage. Courage to say no. Courage to set boundaries. Courage to choose alignment over approval. When you stop living by someone else’s terms, you don’t just change your life, you change your future."
