They always say that home is where the heart is. But usually, you would think living in a car for three years would suggest that you're homeless. It's not a house or an apartment or a cabin. It's not even a mobile home or an RV. Instead, it's just a quaint little car. Apparently, Dawn Robinson of the R&B group En Vogue is totally okay with that. Moreover, she emphasizes that this is completely of her own volition too.

Recently, Dawn uploaded a YouTube video, sharing that she had been living in her car for the past three years.
"Sometimes in life, we end up in situations that we weren't expecting," she explains. "There's something we need to learn or teach, but we're too afraid to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to do it —so the universe does it for us! During this growth period, we either learn to trust ourselves or give in to fear and fail."
However, after fans express their concern and their fervent desire to help out monetarily, Robinson wants to clear some things up.
Dawn Robinson Wants to Live in Her Car, Says It's a Lifestyle Choice
In a statement to PEOPLE, she clarifies that she's not in any danger or is lacking in any capacity. Rather, it's a choice she's making towards a personal journey in her life.
"I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I'm temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery," Dawn explains. "I took a risk and jumped headfirst into this lifestyle, and WOW, what a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride it's been. For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected."
Additionally, Robinson tells fans to be wary of anyone trying to raise money on her behalf. She stresses that she hasn't authorized any of it and frankly, she doesn't need it.
"I've been made aware that some individuals may be requesting funds on my behalf through platforms like Cash App, GoFundMe, or other means," Dawn says. "I want to be clear: I have not authorized any fundraising campaigns, and I do not want anyone—especially my loyal fans—to be scammed or taken advantage of. "Your love and support mean the world to me, and I want to ensure that your kindness is not misused. Please be cautious and do not send money to anyone claiming to act on my behalf."
