Also as promised here is the list of contact info for all of the HWA Diversity Grant Winners and the books and podcasts and websites they all mentioned:
The HWA Diversity Grant is open to underrepresented, diverse people who have an interest in the horror writing genre, including, but not limited to writers, editors, reviewers, and library workers. Like the Diverse Works Inclusion Committee, the Diversity Grants have adopted the broadest definition of the word diversity to include, but not limited to, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disabled, and neurodiverse.
The Horror Writers Association (HWA) believes barriers—often unseen but very real—exist which limit the amount of horror fiction being published by diverse voices. The goal of these Grants is to help remove some of the barriers and let those voices be heard.

Each year, the organizers of Librarians’ Day at StokerCon invite the current recipients of the Diversity Grant to participate in a panel to introduce themselves and their work.
This year’s recipients: Eugen Bacon, Somto Onyedikachi Ihezue, Jonathan Maurice Kincade, Tonya Liburd, Juan Manuel Perez, joined Diversity Grant committee members Violet Castro and Larissa Glasser to talk about their work.
Links to their personal websites as well a list of the authors and resources each mentioned during the presentation are below.
