Dawn Robinson, a singer who first found fame with En Vogue before venturing off on her own, shared details of her current living conditions in a now-viral video. In the clip, Dawn Richardson shares that for the past three years, she’s been living inside her car.

As spotted on VIBE, Dawn Robinson took to her official YouTube channel and broke down the circumstances that led to her living on the road and embracing the growing “car life” trend that other entertainers such as 3D Na’Tee and others.

Robinson, appearing in great spirits, opened up with a motivational quote and then launched into her story about living in her vehicle.

“Guys, I have been living in my car for almost three years,” Robinson began, adding a sigh of relief and said, “I said it, oh my God, it’s out.”

Robinson continued with, “If you guys were with me in 2020, I did like a 105,000 interviews and in the interim, I was living with my parents in [Las] Vegas. That was wonderful until it wasn’t. I love my mom, but she became very angry,y and a lot of her anger, she was taking out on me.”

She also shared that a former manager gave her an empty promise of housing her in Los Angeles but left her stranded in a hotel for months, hence why she leaned into car life and did extensive research.

The former Lucy Pearl singer goes on to say that she isn’t looking for any sympathy but instead is hoping to show, through vulnerability and openness, that one can live on one’s terms. Not once in the video did Dawn Robinson look out of sorts, and her eternally youthful looks and bubbly personality were infectious. She even shared in the video that the late Marvin Gaye embraced car living.
