Come As You Are: A Late-in-Life Lesbian Transformation Story

Come As You Are is a heartfelt short documentary created by LGBTQ+ life, mindset, and empowerment coach Jaime Messina, featuring the powerful story of Myra, a late-in-life lesbian reclaiming her identity and stepping fully into who she is.

After being forced out of the closet, Myra—a member of Club LILLES, a community for queer women who came out later in life—begins her journey of healing, visibility, and self-expression. With support from Jaime, she explores her evolving identity and undergoes a physical transformation that includes a custom lesbian makeover and suit fitting, helping her feel aligned both inside and out.

But this story is about so much more than a suit.

It’s about personal growth, inner strength, and the liberation that comes from finally living life on your own terms—no matter when you start.

If you're navigating your own late-in-life coming out, looking for support through LGBTQ+ coaching, or seeking real, relatable stories of queer empowerment, this documentary is for you.
