Dawn Robinson says that she feels free while living in her car.
Last month, the former En Vogue member revealed that she had been living in her car for the last three years after experiencing unreasonable housing arrangements. In a recent interview, Robinson, 58, said that she always wanted to be a “road girl,” and said that she and En Vogue member, Terry Ellis, would choose to go on 24 hour bus trips.
In the interview, Robinson said that “people don’t know the freedom of what it is.” She went on to explain that in her car she has a foldable twin mattress. “From the outside, the perception is that it’s a very small compact car, and it’s not. Inside, it’s very roomy,” she said during her interview.
Robinson also highlighted the difficulties she faces from living in her car, such as not having a place to cook and daily grooming. “It’s really just every day having to go into the gym and shower there as opposed to just walking into your own bathroom at home,” she said.
The singer said that she doesn’t cook but eats at restaurants on a daily basis with the help of her former mother-in-law, friend, and assistant. She also said that living in her car has been a “very healing time” and said that once she’s ready, she will be in an apartment or house.
