Summary

In this nourishing episode of Deeply Well, Devi sits down with the radiant Andy Allo - a multi-hyphenate artist whose creativity flows through music, acting, and the sacred art of cooking. Together, we explore how storytelling shows up in various forms: in lyrics, in lineage, and in the meals we prepare for the people we love.

Andy opens up about her journey, embracing her many gifts and the spiritual connection she’s found through food, especially through her Cameroonian pop-up restaurant, Akone. With every dish, she honors her cultural legacy while creating space for healing and joy. We talk about food as prayer, as memory, and as a bridge that connects one to another.

Allo and Devi elaborate on how trusting the unknown and surrendering to divine inspiration can open doors to magic we never saw coming. Andy shares stories of working alongside icons like Prince, the power of going on “dates with God,” and the self-care rituals that keep her grounded.

Have you dedicated time to date, GOD?

We also reflect on life after death, and the final season of UPLOAD on Amazon Prime, Andy shines in this futuristic sci-fi comedy series set in 2033, that explores the digital afterlife, life’s meaning and the challenges of a romance between a living person (Nora aka Andy Allo) and an upload (Nathan aka Robbie Amell) who’s consciousness now lives on a server. It’s hilarious, but heartfelt.
