Angelyna's role as Vanessa in the award-winning show “Strong Medicine,” executive produced by Whoopie Goldberg was aired all over the world and continues to be the most popular and requested episode for the series. The episode addresses the International epidemic of drug use amongst teenagers. Challenging her acting abilities, Martinez was cast to play Vanessa a strung-out heroin junkie who is pregnant. Angelyna explains; “I was deeply moved by this role and very sad at the same time because the character really did want to kick her habit and have a healthy baby to love, but she was so far-gone that unfortunately at this moment in her life the reality was impossible. The character had a choice to make and to ultimately sacrifice her unborn child."
Whether Martinez is acting or performing musically, she is unafraid to stretch her boundaries.
