En Vogue’s Dawn Robinson opens up about her healing journey through car life, urging fans to avoid scams.
Dawn Robinson lives in her car, but why?
Dawn Robinson of En Vogue wants her followers to understand that she is not trapped in her current way of life, but rather is choosing it.
The R&B legend of the 1990s clarified in a recent statement that she is not homeless but rather is embracing “car life” as a healing process.
She described the experience as “crazy, fun, sometimes scary,” but transformative, telling People that “failure is NOT an option.”
Does Dawn Robinson have a fundraiser?
Nope, and she’s cautioning fans about falling for scams.
Robinson disclosed that her name is being fraudulently used by unapproved campaigns on websites such as GoFundMe.
She emphasized that her journey isn’t about financial need and asked, “DO NOT send money.”
She thanked supporters and cautioned, saying, “Your kindness shouldn’t be misused.”
What motivates her to pursue a “car life”?
Robinson referred to it as a “universal push” for expansion.
She traded stability for spontaneity following family conflicts and a chaotic management situation.
In a YouTube video, she shared, “I needed to go through this fire,” characterizing life in a car as liberating, if lonely.
In sharp contrast to her Grammy-nominated past, she adopted a new normal that involved covering windows, avoiding strangers, and camping vibes.
How did she get into this predicament?
It began in Vegas five years ago. Following a confrontation with her mother, Robinson briefly slept in her car before being enticed to Los Angeles by a manager who promised her a place to live.
Disillusionment resulted from eight months in a hotel: “People trap you when you’re vulnerable,” she said.
She left the drama behind by 2022, drove to Malibu, and never turned back.
Despite acknowledging that the first night was “terrifying,” she maintains, “I don’t regret anything.”
What does she want her fans to know?
“F— fear.” Robinson hopes her story will inspire others who are up against adversity.
She shrugged off criticism, saying, “Being human means being vulnerable.” Her test? “Take on the frightening.”
She’s proud of her perseverance, whether it’s motivating strangers or reestablishing a connection with herself: “It’s worth the journey as I discover who I am.”
