Michelle Singletary, the award-winning, nationally syndicated columnist featured in The Buffalo News, is headed to Buffalo next week to talk personal finance.

Singletary will speak Monday at the Buffalo City Forum, a community speaker series produced by WNED and Leadership Buffalo. Jim Ranney, WNED director of news and

public affairs, will host the talk, which will be followed by a question-and-answer session. It will be broadcast live on WNED-AM 970.

The personal finance guru’s Washington Post column, “The Color of Money,” appears in more than 120 newspapers. Singletary recently appeared in WNED’s “Your Life, Your Money,” a financial literacy documentary produced in Buffalo for national play on PBS. She has authored four books and been featured on several major TV and news shows.

The event starts with a buffet luncheon at 12:15 p. m., with Singletary addressing the audience at 1 p. m. Tickets are $20 ($15 for WNED and Leadership Buffalo members) and available by calling 849-2626, Ext. 17.
