Dawn Robinson, the Grammy-nominated singer and former En Vogue member, has revealed that she has been living in her car for nearly three years—a decision she now fully embraces.

In a candid YouTube video, the 58-year-old opened up about her journey, explaining that what started as a necessity has become a lifestyle she enjoys.

"You guys, for the past three—almost three—years, I have been living in my car. I said it. Oh my god, it's out."

Robinson initially moved in with her parents during the pandemic but left after a falling-out with her mother. She briefly stayed with her manager in Los Angeles, then lived in a hotel for eight months, covered by him. However, the financial uncertainty made her rethink her living situation.

After researching alternative living communities, she decided to give car living a try.

"I thought, 'Wow, these people. I could do this, I think.' And I ended up in my car."

Though the first night was scary, Robinson quickly adapted and now enjoys the freedom of minimalist living.

"I felt like I was on a camping trip. It was the right thing to do—I didn’t regret it."
