HUG Detroit Day started in August of 2013. It is the birth-child of Sky Covington and City of Artz Sheila Hale who shared their desire and passion to take one day out of the year to literally HUG Detroit and its people. To show appreciation for the inspiring accomplishments of this great city and the people therein. To thank those who stayed here through the storm and those who came to help us rise above and excel as we create a New Detroit and new ways of being and living together. HUG Detroit Day promotes community..."When we can all look at one another, and see ourselves. Then the good that I may want for myself, I will want for you also, regardless of age, gender, social status, culture, race or religion. Together we can rise up out of any situation, and create the city we desire and deserve to live in". Sky Covington says “Let’s get back to the days of hugs and handshakes”. HUG Detroit Day is Sky’s concept, "Let's get back to the days of hugs and handshakes" comes from a place and time when people made an effort to give a hug or handshake, just out of love and respect for a neighbor or friend.
