A total 44,000 Black women gathered on Zoom and raised more than $1.5 million for Kamala Harris in just three hours .

Black women are bracing for an uphill battle, personally and politically.

Attacking Harris' race or gender is a losing strategy, political commentator Wendy Osefo said.

Some Republicans are realizing that attacks won't yield the same results as they have before because America is more diverse in 2024 than in 2008 .

Black women make up 7.7% of the total U.S. population and 15.3% of American women.

"When you attack Kamala with sexist remarks, you're not only offending the Democratic Party ," Wendy Osefo said.
