When Black and Brown Excellence Deliver What History Forgot. Black Texans, Inc.

It all started—not in Hollywood or a warzone—but over hors d’oeuvres and historical goosebumps in Washington, D.C.

Rev. Kyev Tatum, a fiery Texas preacher with a heart for justice and a knack for showing up where history needs a microphone, found himself sitting next to a woman who looked like she could be leading a revolution and producing a Netflix docuseries at the same time—Carlota Espinosa, a three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and one of the creative producers behind Tyler Perry’s new film Six Triple Eight, starring Kerry Washington.

The room was buzzing with overdue honor. The occasion? A long-awaited Congressional Gold Medal ceremony celebrating the incredible women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female unit to serve overseas in WWII. But it was this chance encounter between a Texas pastor and a Hollywood powerhouse that delivered something else entirely: a cross-cultural alliance ready to shake the dust off forgotten history.

As they exchanged stories, Kyev listened with wide eyes and a growing grin. Carlota wasn’t just giving behind-the-scenes scoop—she was sharing names. Stories. Souls. Women like Corporal Lydia Esther Thornton and Private First Class Crescencia Garcia—Afro-Latina and Puerto Rican soldiers who wore the uniform with pride, carried the mail with purpose, and somehow kept their dignity intact in a country that barely acknowledged them.

Kyev, never one to miss a divine appointment, leaned in with his signature mix of Southern charm and spiritual urgency:

“Would you be willing to share your story so others can understand what this really means?”

Carlota smiled, nodded, and said:

“Yes, Let’s do it.”

And just like that, Sin Correo, Baja Moral was born.

Which in English means: “No Mail, Low Morale.”

Which in context means: “If these women didn’t do their job, the whole U.S. Army would’ve emotionally collapsed.”

But this isn’t your average dusty war story. Oh no. This is Black meets Brown, faith meets film, and forgotten history meets fuego. This is salsa and soul food at the same table. Tamales and testimonies. Testifying and tamboras.

Carlota, raised in Los Angeles, brings the storytelling chops, the journalism cred, and the cultural swag to uncover what history buried. Kyev, grounded in Fort Worth, delivers the heart, the hustle, and the Holy Ghost to make sure these women are honored not just with facts—but with fire.

Together, they are building a journey that spans from D.C. to Texas, from Puerto Rico to Paris. Because this story isn’t just about sorting mail in dark, cold warehouses in Birmingham and Rouen. It’s about carrying messages of hope, faith, and love across oceans—while dodging bombs and racism.

Sin Correo, Baja Moral isn’t just a title. It’s a vibe. It’s a remix. It’s what happens when the Black and Brown communities get together and say: “We see you, abuela. We got you, tía. We remember you, sister soldiers.”

This project laughs in the face of erasure, dances on the graves of stereotypes, and delivers dignity with tracking numbers. It’s bilingual, bi-regional, and beautifully bold.

Because history doesn’t just live in textbooks—it lives in us. In the rhythm of our grandmothers’ footsteps. In the prayer cards tucked in our wallets. In the names we weren’t supposed to remember.

But now, thanks to Carlota and Kyev, we’re remembering out loud.

The sisters of the 6888th didn’t just deliver the mail.

They delivered morale.

They delivered courage.

And now, we’re delivering them—into the spotlight they always deserved.

So yeah, history may have been late. But with this Black-Brown delivery crew?

It finally got to the right address.
