Dawn Robinson, a founding member of the '90s R&B group En Vogue, shared her challenging yet enlightening experience of living in her car for nearly three years. Initially prompted by family issues and mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic, Robinson insists her situation has fostered self-discovery rather than despair. Highlighting the rising trend of 'van life,' which attracts many, especially women, seeking adventure or affordable living, she acknowledges the darker realities some face. The American Society on Aging noted an increase in adults over 55 transitioning to vehicle living due to various hardships.
I’m learning about who I am. I’m learning about myself as a person, as a woman.
This is not like, Oh my God, poor Dawn. She’s living in her car. It’s terrible.
A growing number of single adults, 55 and older, are losing their homes and may be forced to live in their vehicles.
Van life is an increasingly popular trend for certain people, including single women, who can’t afford housing in expensive cities.
