💔 You Never Know What Someone Is Going Through
90s R&B icon Dawn Robinson, best known as a former member of the legendary girl group En Vogue, recently shocked fans with a deeply personal revelation—she has been homeless and living in her car for the past three years.
In a video posted to her YouTube channel, Dawn opened up about her struggles, saying: “You guys, for the past three years, I have been living in my car. I said it, oh my gosh, it’s out.”
She explained that she had been living with her parents in Las Vegas in 2020 but left after her mother started taking her anger out on her.
At the encouragement of her manager, she moved back to Los Angeles, thinking it was the right step for her career.
However, things didn’t work out as planned, and she found herself struggling to secure stable housing.
🚘 How Dawn Robinson Adjusted to ‘Car Life‘
As housing became increasingly difficult to find, Dawn Robinson discovered the “car life” community—a group of people who live in their vehicles by choice or necessity.
Instead of seeing it as a setback, she embraced the experience.
“I felt free,” she shared. “It just felt like the right thing to do.”
She also pointed out that many other famous artists, including Marvin Gaye, have lived in their cars at some point in their careers.
Despite the challenges, Dawn views this chapter in her life as one of awakening, healing, and self-discovery.
“It’s not ‘woe is me.’ I’m learning about who I am, as a person, as a woman,” she said.
💬 Fans React with Support & Encouragement
Dawn’s emotional revelation sparked an outpouring of support from fans, with many expressing their admiration for her strength.

💬 Another added: “As an American woman, I totally understand your circumstances. I’m praying for your protection, safety, prosperity, and good health on all levels.”
Several people even shared their own experiences with homelessness, creating a community of empathy and understanding in the comments.
