Dawn Robinson of En Vogue fame recently revealed she has been living in her car for the past three years.

Robinson, who rose to fame in the ‘90s with the R&B group shared a video on YouTube.

“For the past three, almost three years I have been living in my car,” she said. “I said it. Oh my God it’s out!”

Robinson was living with her parents in Las Vegas in 2020. “That was wonderful until it wasn’t,” she said.

She then lived in her car for a month when her co-manager offered to let her come stay with him in Los Angeles.

“He said ‘I don’t have a lot of room, but I’ll make room for you,’” Robinson shared. “But then when I got to his place, he actually didn’t have room for me.”

Robinson, instead, stayed at a hotel for eight months.

She researched “car life” and learned it is a community.

“I felt free. I felt like I was on a camping trip,” she said.

She added, “This is not like, ‘Oh my God, poor Dawn. She’s living in her car. It’s terrible. Oh, woe is me,’” she said. “I’m learning about who I am. I’m learning myself as a person, as a woman.”
