Display enums of selected item in datagrid

When a user selects an item from a list on my WPF page, I'm trying to show that item's list of enums in another DataGrid:

<DataGrid Grid.Row="1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True" 
    HeadersVisibility="Column"
    ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedAdGroupWithRoles.PrestoRoles}"
    SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedPrestoRole}">                    
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding PrestoRole}" Header="Role" Width="*"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

PrestoRole is an enum.

I'm not sure how to set that final binding:

<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding PrestoRole}" Header="Role" Width="*"/>

I've tried a few things, but the PrestoRole name won't display. How can I get it to display?

On a completely separate form, I list every member of the PrestoRole enum in a listbox:

<ListBox Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Roles}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedRole}" Height="auto">

The Roles property, on the view model, looks like this:

public List<PrestoRole> Roles

The enum member displays just fine there. I just can't get it to show in the DataGrid.

This should work:

<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding}" Header="Role" Width="*"/>

When you define a column, the column's DataContext is set to the current item for each row, so all you need to do is bind to it.
