En Vogue was one of the top R&B acts in the world back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but that was a long time ago and sadly one of the group’s founding members has fallen on hard times.
Dawn Robinson shared in a video on Tuesday that she has been living in her car for the past three years.
“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.”
Robinson didn’t explain how she came to live in her car, but she did say she made the move in 2020 after living with her parents in Las Vegas. She did move into a hotel for about eight months that she said her former co-manager paid for in Los Angeles, but she moved back into her car in March of 2022 after she said the manager wouldn’t help her find an apartment.
“I felt like he was playing games,” she said. “Sometimes I think people want to trap you and keep you in a situation where you’re vulnerable and depending on them, and I wasn’t the one.”
Robinson said living in her car made her feel free.
“If you would have said to me while I was in En Vogue, ‘You’re going to be living in your car one day,’ I’d be like, ‘Huh?’ No, I’m always going to have an apartment. I can’t live in my car. How can I do that?
“We say we can’t do certain things before we even know we’re capable.”
“It is not something that I would have chosen, but I’m glad that I put myself out here,” she said. “I have no shame. When I succeed again — because I will — when I’m on top again … getting to that point is only up to me. So, from my car into that life is going to be amazing.”
USA Today noted that Robinson co-founded En Vogue in 1989 and that the group scored six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold 20 million records worldwide.
